[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 1760446, member: 109070"] I've used a 338 win for over 15 years of hunting, shooting everything from coyotes to moose. My personal experience in load data and bullet performance on game I believe the 225 grain is the best performance bullet weight for the win mag. Not only does it perform better at longer ranges than a 210 ballistically, it is also better than a 250gr past 500 yards. I've shot nosler, hornady, barns, burger, and Sierra bullets. All are very accurate with the correct load. My personal belief is the accubond is probably my favorite bullet to run. Followed by Hornady. The barns would be 3rd. My criteria for a bullet is accuracy, weight retention, and shock. For me the accubond performed the best out of all of them. The worst in my opinion that I have personally used on harvesting game was the Berger. Not saying the berger did not shot accurately which it did, was not impressed with performance on game in regards to bullet retention, penetration, and overall knock down performance. (I've shot multiple elk, deer and bears with burgers, not impressed myself to the point of I will not hunt with them). Do they kill everything I've shot absolutely, but they have not performed as well as other mentioned above. Happy hunting and good luck, lots to chose from out there find what works for you and your rifle. [/QUOTE]
