#2460 - 338 Federal Brass
.338-08
1.998 - 2.003 O.A.L.
The .338 Federal was introduced in 2006 by Federal and Sako.
It is capable of achieving the same muzzle energy as some magnum calibers with less recoil.
It also fits in standard length short action rifles and AR-10's without sacrificing magazine capacity.
It hits harder than the .308, and shoots flatter than the .358 Winchester, making it an excellent choice for a close to mid-range hunting caliber.
One thing to consider when selecting hunting bullets for the .338 Federal is that most bullets available in .338 caliber were designed for higher velocity cartridges.
Generally bullets under 200 grains or ones specifically designed for it are your best option for hunting.
Check with your bullet manufacturer of choice for their recommendation.
*Not all .338-08 wildcats were chambered the same and may not headspace correctly with factory .338 Federal brass or ammunition.
**WARNING** In firearms that use a floating firing pin (such as the AR-15 and its variants), dropping the bolt on a chambered round could lead to a slam fire. It is important that these firearms are loaded from the magazine so that the bolt loses inertia when it strips a round from the magazine. It is also important NOT to use sensitive primers that aren't designed for use in an AR, as this increases the chance of a slam fire.

The Starline .338 Federal Brass is Excellent. The .338 Federal Cartridge is Excellent as well. It's a Mid-Range Hammer!

338 Federal was my first Starline Brass purchase. And just based on that first purchase I now order all brass through Starline (If they make that caliber). Orders always ship promptly and arrive quickly. I've yet to run into a single piece that needed to be culled. Thanks Starline for all of the quality products!

As soon as I saw that Starline was making .338 Federal brass I bought some! This Starline .338 Federal brass is some of the most beautiful brass I have ever seen! There was no need to deburr the flash holes on the inside of the cases because there were no burrs to remove! The case necks didn't have any dents in them despite the fact the brass came in a bulk plastic bag. I intend to buy Starline rifle brass in other calibers, if they make what I need.
