[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 174305, member: 313"] My buddy won a Kimber in 338 Federal @ the annual Friends Of The NRA dinner this year. He isn't that much of a shooter and doesn't reload. I ordered him a couple of boxes of Fusion ammo because the price was good. I think they had 200gr bullets. First trip to the range with the rifle right out of the box - 1" groups were no problem (@ 100 yds) and the Kimber was a light-weight model with a skinny barrel. I think the 338 Fed will be fine for your stated use. Naturally, you can't expect it to kill at the same distances as a 300RUM but not many shooters get those opportunities anyway. Barrel life on a .308 win is said to be about 5,000 rnds. On the 338 Fed it should be limitless. [/QUOTE]
