[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 373735, member: 22335"] It's alwasy going to be an "apples vs oranges" comparison. However, since the case of the 7mm-08 and the 338 Federal are the same, by definition you can't fit any more powder in one case than you can in another. A gallon jug is still a gallon jug no matter how big the opening. :D However, bring in a bigger jug and you've got a better chance. If the original poster is going to be purchasing a different rifle anyway, why not get something worth taking on the trip? Take a peek below at the velocity and energy charts. 300 Win Mag wins over the 338 Federal and 7mm-08 in both categories. I used the same type of bullet for each rifle; it's impossible to use the same grain/BC.
