338 FEDERAL

The 338 Federal is essentially a 308 Win that Federal Premium and Sako necked down to seat a .338 cal projectile. Its low recoil and compatibility with lightweight rifles don’t prevent the 338 Fed from accelerating its 210 grain projectile to a respectable muzzle velocity of ~2,625 fps out of a 24” barrel. Not on par with the more powerful 338 Lap Mag, but certainly adequate for a large game hunting cartridge.
