You can go to Ammo Guide and check out the cartridge/case dimensions - there are 26 different .338 cartridges listed. Some are kinda similar, many are vastly different.

And exactly why would you want to go to the 338 Fed. . I see the comparison is done with a 154 gr. bullet in the 308 & the 338 is done with a 194 gr. bullet .
No wounder it comes up with more muzzle energy or am I reading this comparison thing all wrong .

I'm a reloader & the 33 cal bullet in a case with about the same cap. as a .308 , doesn't lift my skirt much. Just talking out loud. Enlighten me .
