[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 1594134, member: 103742"] Hi 35 My only 338 Win Mag is in a TC pro hunter with a 26” barrel and it’s been more of a closer range gun for me. Basically a bush elk gun out to 300 yards more because it has a bit of a crappy trigger. I need to get a trigger kit and get it down off of 5 lbs. I haven’t played a lot with my 338 but the Barnes TTSX are one of my go to bullets because I have just had such good luck on hitting something when it’s close (and they don’t explode) and they perform well out far too. I have used the 210 and 225 bullets. The trick with any of the Barnes is getting them out so they are almost to the lands. I haven’t developed much for loads for the 210 and 225s yet though. I have had some surprisingly good luck with the Nosler Accubonds in 225 grain. I just started liking the Accubonds as I have a Browning Mountain Ti in 325 WSM and I came around a corner of bush about 5 years ago and was 30 yards from a big old cow moose and I had a tag. The 200 grain Accubond factory load hit HARD and mushroomed almost all the way to the base. So it lost some weight but at that range there wasn’t much velocity loss lol. She basically went 10 yards. I used to shoot the partitions a lot, but Barnes has sort of become my go to for performance but you gotta play to find the load to get them to shoot. And if your not going long range, you can go down a weight and get the same performance but flatter. A 210 TTSX will penetrate as good as a 225 Accubond. [/QUOTE]
