ROSCOENew Federal round...338 Federal
I see federal is producing its first round...the 338 Federal. It is the former wildcat 338-08. The brief article indicates it has more energy than a 7mm Mag. It will be interesting who builds rifles for this caliber. I will bet ruger and savage have something out there soon!

In the March '06 issue of Shooting Times Layne Simpson writes,"According to the Federal rep I spoke with...also warn that the ammunition SHOULD NOT be fired in rifles chambered for the .338-308 wildcat."

Ol` JoeSako, I hear, has already picked up the cartridge and are chambering for it.

Hot CoreShould be
almost as good as the 358Win, which is intended as a compliment.
Do you all think most folks will just go with the 210gr Nosler Partition in it?
