I have a variety of .338 WinMag factory ammo for sale - it's not the type you mentioned above, but shoot me a PM if you have any interest in any of it -
SWIFT – 250 grain A Frame – 114 rounds
FEDERAL PREMIUM – 250 grain Nosler Partition – 20 rounds
FEDERAL PREMIUM – 210 Nosler Partition – 18...
Alaska's more than twice the size of Texas...can you be slightly more specific on the area you will be hunting?
If you have lots of rain gear, bring a quality set with some tape for repair. Don't bring any of the cheap stuff that gets torn when you walk through alders or other brush...
I used a Ruger Model 77 in .338 WinMag for Alaska moose and caribou hunting for many years. Did my last remote Alaska hunt in Fall of 2023, so I will probably sell my .338 soon. I love that rifle more than any other I ever owned, and it seemed to fit me like a glove. My only regret is not...
Prayers up for your daughter and for you and your family. Kids are really resilient, but it sucks when they have things like this hurdle to tackle. Hoping the rheumatologist can work a good plan with you.
Yup, Savage 340. Shot my first couple of deer with mine many moons ago. Mine was a shooter, pretty impressed with it for a relatively inexpensive rifle.
Sold it to a guy who had never shot anything bigger than a .22. He flinched when he shot it, and was about a foot wide of centee at 100 yards...
I don't think it bodes well that the bull went 250 yards and then turned up a steep slope. I am no elk expert tho, so hopefully some of the seasoned elk hunters chime in soon.
If this guy posts his drone footage on Youtube and draws a bunch of new traffic to this area, that might be considered harm...if he makes money from the footage, even worse.
Might be a good idea to check with some who have floated that area. I haven't floated the Yukon, but have read several accounts of strong winds on the Yukon that made floating downstream quite a chore. Can't remember what stretch of the Yukon it was.
I still have some .338 Winchester Magnum factory ammo for sale. Available for the price listed below; the buyer would also assume the shipping cost for UPS Ground shipment within the contiguous 48 states.
The various ammo brands are shown below, as well as the quantity of each brand. “/box”...
Hard to wander in the thick brush along the rivers. Maybe ease along the river looking for sign, and still hunt slow in areas where there seem to be sign. Moose can move really quietly when they want to, take your time and watch and listen. August seems a little early for calling.
BUMP - to show what ammo is still available. I don't think we will see the prices below on the A Frames or the Federal Premium online or in retail stores for a long time, if ever.
SWIFT – 250 grain A Frame – 114 rounds - $80/box
FEDERAL PREMIUM – 250 grain Nosler Partition – 20 rounds - $60...
It's assorted brass from the factory ammo that I listed for sale; 20 rounds are from custom handloads from Pendleton that I had loaded for my rifle.
Will sell for $90 plus UPS ground shipping cost.
In case you change your mind, here is the .338 WinMag ammo that I am selling -

I hunted caribou in the 40 Mile country many times, last Fall's hunt was my last remote AK hunt. All of those stories are posted in the Caribou subforum, if you search you can find them and get a good idea of the general terrain you will be hunting.
I have a fair amount of .338 Winchester Magnum ammo that I don’t need anymore, as I did my last remote Alaska hunt last Fall. Willing to sell it for the price listed below; the buyer would also assume the shipping cost for UPS Ground shipment within the contiguous 48 states.
