I read about the development of the round and platform a few months ago it's be a out the 338 in the same way 6.5x284 became popular in f class taking a bullet with the same bc and fire it at the same velocity and it will fallow the same path
The load it's self of a 220 vld at 2850 is not all that hot, hodgdon data for retumbo pretty much gets it done I can push the 208 amax at 2900 fps with published data
That being said the 338 will hit harder at any given range but on soft targets you don't need to hit all that hard and it can be fond with a smaller, lighter and theoretically cheaper gun
