i was thinking(yes, again), what would be a good deer load in the encore under 250 yards, use 200 grain bullets, and not knock my block off(had a stroke). i am getting a 444 marlin with bellms muzzle brake( as soon as mgm buys the barrel), and i have a 6.5 creedmoor, which does an marvelous job. i think(here we go again thinking) i have come up with a good caliber, the 338 federal. its based on the 308 and can shoot 180-225gr bullets. i'm guessing the recoil isn't that bad, i shot a 338rum, and i don't want to do it again!
does anybody have thoughts on the 338 fed.?
thanks!
