But don't worry, as long as there is a 308 you'll have brass. The 338F is the old wildcat 33-08 or 338-08 depending who called it what. Its simply the 308 necked to 338 without any other changes. Run 308W brass over a 338 expander, load and fire'm! The only drawback, if you want to call it that would be the headstamp.
I would imagine anything chambered for the 308 would be a simple conversion, a barrel. I would also think feeding from a mag wouldn't be much of an issue since the case is the same save for the neck diameter.
