[QUOTE="Sniper1004, post: 760736, member: 57204"] I don't know why everybody keeps saying the 338 Fed is a short range round. Of couse it has more drop than a magnum high velosity round. But, the trajectory is very simular to a 308 wim which is used in many long range shooting events. I had the opportunity to shoot a Whitetail with mine at 480yds and the deer did not go 40yds. Now on bigger game I would pass up a shot of that distance do to the reduced energy/penetration at 500yds. Just a sidenote, I was amased the Nikon BDC (tested before hunting) was spot on for the 338 Fed out to 500yds. Good combo. And out of my Tikka, after some bedding, stock work, trigger work, ect. I can shoot under a 4 inch group at 300 yds. I have had more accurate sniper rifles but, never in a light weight, inexpensive, hunting package. [/QUOTE]
