If you want the best of both worlds?

I THINK Ruger is chambering the .338 Federal now.

Excellent performance from that cartridge.

You get the better sectional density and BC of the .338 bullets, and you get the hassle free life of cases sans belts.

No, not as powerful as the .338 Win. Mag., but flatter shooting than the .358.
