Any .338 within reason will work.

Yes, there are .338 bullets made for tube magazine .33 Winch rifles. Hornady makes a 200 grain FN and Hawk 180 & 200 grain FNs.

The Hornady was designed specifically for the velocities at which the .33 Winch operates; I presume the Hawks were as well, but don't know that.

Regards,
BigIron

Given a decent bore, cast the suckers.

NO NO NO - the 33 winchester uses .333" bullets, not .338"
You can use the 250 & 300 grain Woodleigh Bullets for the 333 jeffery, or you can get dies to swage down .338" bullets to .333". Another option is to use cast bullets.

it says in hornady`s manual that the 200 flat point was made for the 33 Win model 1886 it is .338.they list 45 grs H4895 at 2200 as the max load.

Try a search in Mid South Shooters Supply catalog.

http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/

They have the Hornadys listed.
They make good bullets to use in the 338 Mag for reduced load (33 Winchester velocities) hunting!
