I wrote to Hornady to ask their guidance on using the FTX in the 338 Federal. I was told that the FTX would work but was designed specifically for the 338 Marlin Express and has a velocity ceiling of 2,800 fps. I was also told I would likely be better served using the SST.
I'll find the reply from Hornady and post is here.
