[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 334924, member: 11717"] OK :) The 338-08 is the Feceral. I had thought it was off the .06 case case but after looking it up it's off the .08 case. And that being said, a 210 bullet out of a 338 Fed moving at 2600 fps will generate 78 lb ft/s of momentum, so a good choice. I think probably the biggest factors in choosing a brush cartridge are bullet construction and stability. I would avoid HPs and poly tipped bullets and go with a protected SP like a Swift A-Frame. A hard cast 12 g slug might be a good choice at close range if it was well stabilized. EDIT: Having said that the 308 is IMO the best all around rifle in PA for "average" deer hunting, I would choose 300 WSM and if I thought I was hunting brushy areas, I would probably go with a 200 gr A-Frame. At 2900 fps it would have a little more momentum than the 338 or 358. Now if we step up to a 338 WSM or 358 WSM, those would be some good brush busters.... [/QUOTE]
