I've only had my 338-06 AI a couple of seasons, but it hits like the hammer of Thor from what I've seen. The 200 gr SST opens up easily and makes large exit holes on little Alabama whitetails. I'm shooting it at 2860 FPS muzzle velocity, and although I don't use it for long range hunting, it will deliver plenty of punch out to 300-400 yards if I needed it. The 338 federal would struggle to break 2500 FPS in a 22 in barrel. The 338-06 will nip at the heels of the 338 win mag and blow the doors off the 338 federal. Sure it will,but my point was,how much do I need to kill a deer at 200 yards and under? Larger critters I can see.
