Getting bake to the original Q...IMHO the 338F is a great cartridge. I put one together using a Savage model 10 action (I won the rifle in a raffle, so only a $10 investment) and had it rebarrel by ER Shaw with a SS 22" tube. It loves 200 grn Fusions and I have worked a load using LVR powder and 200 BT shoting 0.75" at 100. Next I will be moving to 210 grn Scirocco. It has the inherrent accuracy of the 308 parent cartridge and with more potential thump than you can out of the 308. It will be my primary rifle for Dec bull hunt (thus the Scirocco) with my 7mm STW as a back up or for long shots.
The way I see it the 338F and STW are alot alike, they both have/had a cult following with out Rem or Win carrying the cartridge. I just hope Rem doesn't decide to come out with a 330 Rem to kill the 338F like the 7mm Ultra did to the STW.
