If you go back in some gun mags you'll find some of the old "338 fed vs. 358 win shoot out!" articles.  Usually there's some small differences that only the author of the article would find valid.  The same goes for the 338/06 vs. the 35 whelen.

Ruger has recently carried both the 338 fed and 358 winchester in their hawkeye rifles and in their 'frontier' models.  Both shoot similar weight bullets, but the 338 has a slight edge with ballistic coefficents...the 358 makes slightly bigger holes, and might do a bit better with 250 grain bullets at closer range.

I shoot 225 grain nosler partitions.

So this gun has really been wipping my @$$. shooting 180grn sierra game kings this thing kicks like my old 300wm with a little more smack.  Since i dont have to worry about weight hunting hunting the stands over here i thought i'd throw some lead shot into the tupperware stock to see how it felt. I ended up putting about 3 kilos in(6.5 pounds) and that sucker is heavy now. Can't wait hit the range and the stand this weekend. lol. I dont see it as a permanant adjustment, just fiddling.

the centerpoint for the weight is just behind the trigger guard now
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"


Loving life in the Great Northwest one day at a time.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
