jmh3,

Have you on the list!

The book is now in the hands of the printer, so we'll have a better idea of a delivery date fairly soon....

Dang it. No 338 Fed. Oh well, it is the only one in my gun safe that is not covered. I am still buying the book though.

Also no .405 WCF or 45-90 - oh well I am pretty far along with those calibers and need no more help with them.
Both have been proven on PG and DG in Africa, so maybe I could trade that load data for a book?
I also shoot 45-70 in both my 45-90 rifles , so they keep me pretty busy.

Can provide you some .338 Federal loads--and in fact published seven in the first BIG BOOK OF GUN GACK, in the chapter titled "Kinder, Gentler .338s."

But didn't include the cartridge in this book for two reasons. First, I've only handloaded for one .338 Federal rifle--and didn't get much feedback from other hunter/handloaders on the results. This book is based on loads that work in more than one rifle.

This lack of feedback also suggests that the .338 Federal isn't very popular, and may even be dying--or dead. My take on the round was that it duplicated the muzzle velocities of the .30-06 with similar-weight bullets--but didn't shoot as flat at longer ranges.

I also never could see any difference in "killing power" between it and the .30-06, despite the slightly larger diameter of .33-caliber bullets (which is basically equal to wrapping a .30 caliber bullet in a typical business card). But that's also because the longer I hunt big game, the less difference in "killing power" I see in most cartridges, unless the bullets are a LOT different in both diameter and weight.

No doubt this will result in some disagreement....

No disagreement here. Thanks for the explanation. You did not have to take the time to do it but it is appreciated!

Things are progressing with the printer--they'll be e-mailing back their layout any day now, so we can check it over and give the go-ahead.
So we're still looking at mid-October for the copies to arrive here.

Please add me to the list as well. I’ve been keen for this ever since you wrote the first Handloads That Work article years ago. I’m still impressed. Especially that .300 Savage load with 165gr and 42gr RL15. I’m pretty sure that’s where I first came across it. That’s a stunning shooter in the 3 rifles I’ve tried it in and in the rifles of a couple buddies I’ve passed the recipe on to.
