What is your favorite .338 BULLET and what cartridge do you shoot it in and at what velocity & for what purpose?

275 Swift, .338 Win

225 TSX, 2850 fps, Elk

The 225 grain Nosler Partition at 2880 fps in my 338 Win Mag. I have used it on wild hogs and elk with good success.

Have to admit, though, I have done some good long range shooting on deer, elk, and hogs using the Sierra 250 boat tail at 2780 fps out of the same gun.

210gr TSX @ 2850fps- 338-06

210gr Nosler Part. 2870fps ELK.

308Sako ----- I have taken several Elk with the North Fork 240 grain bullet with my .340 Wby, and .338 Lapua. My grandson used the Lapua on his Elk, both bullet and boy impressed me greatly. He at 14 using the Lapua like a man, the bullet for performing flawlessly. Good shooting.

.33 G&A elk and brown bear gun

My favorite load for the 338 WM in my old M70 is the old Nosler 250 grain partition with 74.0 grains of Norma MRP. My best group (4 shot group) was .482 @ 200 yds. The gun consistently shoots them in a tight mouse face group. I have not tried Swift A-frames, Northforks or Woodleighs in this rifle as I am quite satisfied with the accuracy and performance from the ole Noslers. The bullet I pulled out of the bear (Aviator Pic) weighed 228 grains and had a beautiful mushroom. Shot the bear going away from me and the bullet recovered was located near his gallblader. The brown squared 9'8" to give you an idea of the length of penetration.

210 Partition @ 3050 fps, .338 mag for elk.

i have a stash of 210 grain older partitions they shoot great in my rifle bought e'm way before barnes made x bullets , now i''d have to give the tripple shock 225 grainer my vote. regards jjmp

currently using hornday sst 225gr over 74.5gr of ar2213sc for around the 2800fps mark.
every bullet has passed straight through any sambar deer i have shot. no complaints at all

I've come around to the 225 gr. Northfork and feel like I am done looking for the perfect bullet for the 338 caliber.

.338 Win Mag. I currently load the Hornady 225gr SST, 70.2gr RL-22 @ 2613. Very accurate.

Next load will be the Hornady 250gr Interlock.
