.338 Federal Ammo Prices

Federal built this in 2006 by necking the .308 up to .338 caliber to deliver big-bore short-action punch for elk and hogs and bears in a compact rifle. It is a genuinely useful thumper that hits hard at woods and moderate ranges without a magnum action or a magnum beating. A sensible medium-bore that never got famous but earned real respect. Honest authority in a small package.

Loads run 180 to 210 grain in the modest hunting offerings that exist. A niche round priced above the mainstream in small boxes. The short-action big-bore crowd buys whenever it surfaces.
