[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 86862, member: 11"] I'm going to help my brother put together a load for his .338 win mag. I am interested in which bullets you might reccomend for taking mostly deer, a few elk and black bear. Ranges from 50 to 800 yards (the vast majority inside 400) I would also like to know of any range or velocity concerns we might have such as ballistic tips being used under 2800 fps for best expansion or SGKs not doing well on busting shoulders or what not. I am leaning toward something in the 170 to 200 grain size. Maybe an accubond or a non bonded Wildcat with an .030 jacket. Maybe a Hornady SXT. Mostly looking for some raw input to help narrow the field a bit. While we are at it throw a favorite powder choice in there as well. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
