338 Federal Earns NRA Golden Bullseye Award
ANOKA, Minn. – April 20, 2007 – The .338 Federal was named American Rifleman Ammunition of the Year at the 2007 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in St. Louis, Missouri. This .308-based cartridge is the first centerfire rifle offering to bear Federal’s name and in addition to taking home the NRA Publication’s highest honor, has received a great response since its introduction last year.
In their April 2007 issue, American Rifleman acknowledged, “Perhaps no endeavor is as risky for an ammunition company as introducing a new, proprietary cartridge. So we took notice when one of the most respected names in ammunition, ATK’s Federal Cartridge Company, introduced the first rifle cartridge to bear the Federal headstamp: the .338 Federal.”
Among other criteria, the eight-member committee awarded the .338 Federal a Golden Bullseye Award for being “reliable in the field, meeting or exceeding the evaluator’s expectations.”
The April 2007 issue of American Rifleman went on to say “All ballistic comparisons on paper aside, our field editor found the .338 Federal with a 200-gr Fusion bullet more than capable of breaking through the shoulder of a 7-ft. British Columbia black bear … It penetrated completely through the bruin’s body and exited out the ribs just behind the opposite shoulder.”
The .338 Federal has also drawn rave reviews from other industry experts and die-hard hunters. They like the advantage of this short action round that gives magnum-level performance. Firearm availability is also way up. Originally launched with renowned Finnish arms maker Sako®, most leading gun manufacturers have jumped on board and now chamber the .338 Federal. Add this to the fact that this caliber is available in three premium bullet offerings, as well as a 200-gr Fusion load, and this cartridge is a home-run for big game hunters.
