I'm afraid I don't understand that Hoyt. Care to elaborate? - dan
Constantly downloading cartridges down to inferior cartridges is mostly silly unless there is a pressing need for a single rifle with full power and reduced loads... which does occur ie. A single rifle remote trip for big game with a small game permit aswell. However making every rifle into an SKS is pointless, just shoot a lesser cartridge... as cheap as you want to make your centerfire rifles they won't be as cheap as a rimfire .22 LR or .22 WMR. Unless someone.is afraid of recoil, but then just acknowledge that and stick with cartridges that you can handle. JMO... YMMV.

Ok, got it. Thx. - dan
A good friend has used his Ruger custom 350 mag for about 30? years, one-gun owner so its used on everything and now used by his son until the young guy figures out what he wants. Shot mostly with Speer 180s iirc, but loaded up 250s when he was guiding
He says 180s worked for most deer within range, but like the 250s for anything larger
Custom on a light long action but iirc he just loads to regular oem length

There are more bullet choices for the 338. - dan
Love my Tikka SS Lite 338 Federal and it’s an excellent shooter too .loves 160 TTSX at plus 3000 fps and 200 gr Fuson Bonded at 2700 fps . Very impressive ballistics from that 308 cartridge family case ! JMO RJ
I have used the 225 X bullet in my 350. Two white tails and a few bears. They all died, bullet did exactly what it was supposed to do. - dan
My brother said the deer he shot with his 338 Federal was an instant knockdown. He was really impressed with it.
A-2230.
Are you running a 338 Federal ? RJ
