Comment on .338 Federal by Ralph

I shoot a Remingto 700 BDL short action with a Shaw barrel and Remington laminated stock in 338 Federal. Also load the Barnes 160 grain TTSX but with IMR 4895 as I have a bunch. It gives me about 2700 FPS or a little better and kills deer like lightning. It is an excellent choice – especially for possible elk or moose in the future. Groups are nothing special (1 1/2″) but fine for hunting. I believe the XBR 8208 will improve bot velocity and groups but have not yet tried it.

Check Webster’s you insufferable twat! Jiga is the primary pronunciation — just like giant which shares the same Greek word root. When I learned the SI prefixes in college, that was how everybody said it.
