[QUOTE="Sage70, post: 2380142, member: 119027"] I don't have a 338 Federal but I do hunt each year with a 338-06 and they are very similar using the same bullets and the same powder. The only difference is the 338-06 is faster. I took a mule deer in 2020 at over 250 yards with a 180 grain AccuBond and that is my longest kill to date. I consider my rifle to be a 300 yard big game rifle and I wouldn't choose to shoot further. I have a pair of 338-06 rifles with 22 inch barrels and I use the 180 grain AccuBond, the 210 Partition and shoot steel with the 200 grain Speer. I hunt in open country and I won't go to heavier bullets because they are too slow. If I wanted to hunt big game at 500 yards I would choose my 280 Remington because it is a better long range rifle. Don't get me wrong, I have rifles in many calibers but if I had to choose only one big game cartridge it would probably be a 338-06 because it makes one fine rifle. [/QUOTE]
