OK, hopeful it's a decent general question in a less than optimal world of scarce hunting bullets in .338 WM. Limiting the discussion of only these three bullets for ranges 100-200 yards, woods, whitetail deer. Keeping loads and velocities down on either to help forestall frangible breakup and mass loss, if possible.
So,
225 Hornady SST at 2500-2700, using IMR 4350.
v.
225 Speer BTSP, 2600-2700, using IMR 4350 or H 4350, though will also entertain I/H 4831.
v.
250 Sierra Game King at 2400-2550, using H 4831 SC.
Coming from the 45-70, I tend to like bigger, slower bullets for woods hunting. But my knowledge with jacketed bullets, especially with my new rifle, is nil. So input appreciated.
I will say I have 250 Barnes TSX's coming, and these may be candidates for an elk load in 2-3 years time. So I figured the GK's would get me started on an idea. On the other hand, if I had my druthers, I'd like something like the Hornady 225 Interlock RP-SP or Nosler Accubond in 225, so I'm also interested in pursuing some 225 grain trials using either the Speer 225 SP or these Hornady 225 SST's.
For now, though, please just limit discussion to the above scenario - deer, 100-200 yards.
Edit: Added a third. Re-subscribed to LoadData and found some data for the Speer 225 BTSP. Again I understand why this isn't ideal, but making do with lower velocities.
