Jambrb: Sheesh! Quote from turd ingwe: "Whats a .338 federal....?" Its ignorant turds like this that make this site LESS usefull, fun and informative. Sorry that turds like ingwe are not mature enough to either make a "quality contribution" or just say nothing at all. Shameful waste he is. Now on to some real life, real hands on, real experience with the 338 Federal! I have been shooting my Tikka T-3 in 338 Federal for more than 3 years now. I love it! My Rifle is accurate and has rather mild recoil. I have shot groups (3 shots at 100 yards) as small as .760" with my rig. I have a Zeiss Diavari 3x9 variable scope on my Tikka. I use my 338 Federal for spring and fall Black Bear Hunting and for Elk Hunting in the thick cover. I have three friends who also enjoy their 338 Federal Rifles for Big and Medium size Game here in Montana. I would venture an opinion that the 338 Federal is NOT setting the world on fire but it has a following and is a usefull and accurate cartridge. Factory brass has of recent become available and that will add to its appeal. I plan on using my 338 Federal when I get drawn for a Moose and/or Bison tag here in Montana! Beware of turds!
