[QUOTE="vendetta333, post: 538708, member: 35065"] hey guys, i've been reading about the new 338 federal cartridge. some people are less than impressed wit its lack luster ballistics. however, i feel that most are forgetting the biggest advantage of a round being based on the 308 case. the sue in ar-10 style rifles. i think DPMS has a great setup with their LR338L rifle in 338 Fed. it is light, holds more rounds than a bolt gun, and is semi auto, if you were to come across an unfriendly bear. at close range may be a bit much for white tail, but for muelies, black tail, or elk, sounds like a ringer. plus with the higher bc 338 bullets, the bullet should retain a great deal of its energy. i see this round as almost a 6.5 grendel on steroids. thoughts?
