The .338 Federal would benefit substantially if the major gun manufacturers would chamber their rifles for it and if they don't then I'm afraid it may go by the way side like some other great calibers have. If that were to happen then we would be losing out BIG! With Federal owning the patents on the cartridge there may be some issue along those lines that is keeping it out of many rifle manufacturer's model lines. I'm not the smartest guy on matters like that but I'm sure it plays an important role in the process. If so, then my suggestion to Federal would be "make it more available...please".
