The .338WM is a very popular cartridge in Alaska. Only the .30-06 and the .300WM are as popular. The .338WM is my favorite caliber, and what I use for all my hunting in Alaska. All the factory ammo is expensive lately, regardless of caliber. For example, around $62.00 for a box of Federal 225-grain TSX for the .338, and nearly the same for a box of factory ammo with 180-grain bullets for the .300WM. I will be reloading my own for a while:)
