Roger that.... I don't think I'll make NRA this round. Karen and I are headed to Africa later this month. Tell the folks at Burris I said hello.

Trapr, It was indeed an honor and pleasure meeting you. Wish we could've had more time to visit. Yes, I'm already planning for next year's HHC -- Lord knows I need all the time and help possible.

Anybody have a Freedom Arms Model 83 in 22LR?? I would appreciate hearing any experience with this rimfire in the Model 83. Thanks in advance for any insight.
Happy Independence Day, Mark Hampton

Regarding the 338 Fed. I have taken a few animals with this round from a 15 inch Encore pistol barrel. Most have been larger critters than whitetail including Shiras moose plus seven head of African plains game with a huge Livingstone eland in the mix. A large section of .338 caliber bullets were designed for the 338 Win. Mag. which as you know, exceeds the velocity of the 338 Fed. I have found the 180 gr. Accubond to be accurate and very effective on larger game.
I haven't taken any game with Hornady's 200 gr. SST but this could work in the 338 Federal especially at sane ranges. From a rifle - I was getting 2475 fps with this bullet using W 748. Federal factory ammo with Nosler's 180 gr. AB produced 2720 fps from the same rifle. I was writing an article on a Savage when running these loads over the chronograph. You can figure roughly 200 fps slower velocity from a 15 inch pistol barrel.
