Has anyone reloaded for .338 Federal

Just wondering if anyone has reloaded for the .338 Federal. I love my Tikka T3 Lite chambered in this round, but up here in Canada factory loads are nearing $50 a box.

Im getting ready to load 338 winchester mag for a friend, will let you know how it turns out for him!

I use 200gr Hornady in my .338-06 with 4320. I would try Varget in the .308 case.

Apparently no one so far has loaded the 338 Federal. As you probably know, it's a 308 on steroids. Any of the 308 heavy bullet load powders will work well in the 338 Fed.
Go to www.hodgdon.com and check out the loads for it there.
As suggested, Varget, H4895 and several other powders do the job. A good caliber choice for use in Canada.
Good luck.

I've been loading 338 Federal ... gun I'm using is a DPMS semi-auto. So far it seems easy to load, I've basically been using data in the Hodgon manual.
