The 338 RUM will take down a moose or a brown bear with a 225 Accubond. Has anyone done this?

Should for sure! I seen pics of a large bull elk taken with the same cailber and 200gr Accubonds-one shot kill pass thru. Good sized entrance wound...HUGE exit. Same results with my 270WSM with 140gr Accubonds and my 300WM with 180gr Accubonds knocks down moose and black bears , along with elk and deer here in Alberta. Now once I develope a load for my new 338-06 AI with 225gr Accubonds, I bet its the same results....bang..flop...meat on the table.

My god I should hope it would knock it down. If not sell your gun and take up knitting. Just kidding. A friend of mine runs a 338 RUM and knocks the hell out of big moose all the time. I shoot accubonds in my 378 and I like them. Good luck and good hunting.


You don't have to be the best shot....Just the last shot.

Hey Donk you know those AB's are no good and you need TSX's in order to REALLY kill with a little gun like the 338 RUM. All joking aside I know a 140gr AB from a 7mm will kill moose and I had a 338 Rum and the power was amazing. I had a box of AB's and sold the gun before I tried them. The guy BaDonkaDonk is talking about has them so hopefully he will load them soon cuz he will kill with them.
Good luck.
