I dont own one but I love the caliber. Its what .308 should have been to begin with IMO

That said, it will have limited ammo availability forever. Unless the military adopts it for some reason I dont see it ever becoming mainstream.

I really would like a AR10 in 338 Federal.

Nothing wrong with a .338 Federal, but it just hasn’t caught on. Ammo may be hard to find.

Been hunting with the .338 Federal for a few years now. Dropped three deer this year ranging from 100 to 150 yards. All dropped with one shot and zero recovered projectiles. My savage is accurate, light, and recoil is a non issue. I’m extremely happy with the round.
