338 FEDERAL
Can someone tell me exactly how this differs from the .338-08?

I've heard rumors but none confirmed.

It Don't!

Well,

For one thing, the neck is spec'ed for use with .339 bullets as that is what Lupua is loading theirs with. Also, the drawings indicate that the shoulder is .002" futher forward on the new Federal. Apparently the factories are using plain old .308 gages anyway. So, I suppose that means for all intents and purposes, there is no difference.
