    So the 308 Win seems approved by AH, what about the rifle?

    400-600 fps drop in velocity??? Where did you get that info? From a standard 24" barrel, velocity decreases about 20-25 fps for each 1" shorter barrel. Hence, a 6" shorter barrel length yields a decrease in velocity of 120-150 fps. This has been chronographed many times. The Hog Hunter in...

    .338 Federal

    It all depends on what level of recoil you are comfortable with. I can shoot my Savage Hog Hunter in .338 Fed all day at the range and enjoy it.
