Unfortunately the 338 Fed is one of the "Why" cartridges. When I put my little 270s together(270-08, 270-08 Imp) I was asked more than once why not a 260 or 7-08 ? Its the same with my 30-338 WMs, Why not a 300 WM?
Firearms manufactures make what sells. Its almost a sure bet of the 1366 members at the club I'm the only one that shoots a 33-08 ...errr 338 Federal. Until the demand increases it will languish in the "Also Ran" category.
Fortunately brass is a snap to make. Simply run 308 Win brass over a 338 expander button and wallah, instant 338 Fed brass. You can use the gauge(s) for the existing 308W family (243,7-08 and etc).
