.338 Federal is just a blown out .308 case with lower velocity and somewhat similar accuracy. IMO it's made to catch more shooters only and isn't really an improvement over the common Winchester .308 but it does however cost at least 5x as much to shoot unless you reload.

I noticed it was dramatically more expensive, and also more difficult to find. .338 winchester magnums are far more common, so is the Lapua for that matter. Now, if they chambered it in Lapua with a large box magazine (20), then it would really be something.
