[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3874238, member: 15054"] 338 Federal from 2006 is a round made from necking up the .308. Then there was the 338 RCM released in 2008 to trump the velocity of the 338 Federal. Why this super slow 338? Yea a bigger hole and more energy but I have found the 55gr V-max at 2900fps dropped all deer and hogs I hit with it faster than any heavier bullet I have ever used. I think the 1:3 twist is way out of the norm and that gets the round in our brains as being something very different and exciting and makes you wish you had one. I am not falling for that again after the hype of the 6.5 CM. I suppose if you love the sub sonic and shoot suppressed this would interest you more. [/QUOTE]
