[QUOTE="fariswm, post: 421072, member: 11234"] I think the .338 Federal is a great choice for most game up to 300 yards. Yes, it isn't very flat out to 400 yards with a 200 yard zero, but for shooting Moose, Deer and anything else for that matter within reasonable range I don't know many cartridges that will do it better with less meat damage. Is it flat- no. Does it pack two tons of muzzle energy- no. Will it get the job done in a short action with a 22 inch barrel without brutalizing the shooter- yes. With 180-200 gr premium bullets this round still maintains about 1900 fps at 400 yards with 1500 to 2000 ft lbs of retained energy and with a bullet drop of only 8 to 9 inches at 300 yards- 24 inches at 400 yards with a 200 yard zero- I think I might get me one.
