Description
Now you can get magnum performance without the heavy recoil of a magnum cartridge. Just load up the .338 Federal. Specially designed for modern lightweight rifles and originally available only from Sako, the exclusive .338 Federal is based on the short, efficient .308 Win, but necked up to accept a heavier bullet capable of dropping large game at up to 300 yards. Topped with your choice of world-renowned bullets - Nosler AccuBond, Nosler Partition or the Barnes Triple Shock X-Bullet - the .338 Federal has the weight and velocity to bring terminal energy to your target. Its controlled expansion bullet offerings take down medium to large game like deer, bear, elk and moose. All with the comfort of a non-magnum load. With this cartridge, you get big performance in an easy-carry light-weight rifle - and more enjoyment out of your hunt. And that's the biggest kick of all.
