[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2719632, member: 94556"] [/ BEEMAN, living in Canada, I understand your access limitations. Depends on what 338 cartridges are imported and available. Commercially available ones are the safest bet. 2 come to mind. The 33 Nosler and the 338 Norma. The 33 Nosler is almost the same as the 330 Dakota which I know very well. From a 23” barrel and a 200 gr bullet is very likely to reach 3000 fps, and a 225 gr bullet might be 2800-2875 depending on the powder you have to use. A 250 gr bullet is most likely to reach in the high 2750 fps range. With the Norma and a 250 gr bullet pretty sure you could reach 2825-2850 fps. The 265 Nosler LRAB is a lead core jacketed bullet and is out of your specified weight range also. For ranges of 600 yds or more, BC becomes a significant consideration.
