I'll go first, the rifle is a kimber with a 26" tube. So far the best groups I have got with the 210 ttsx is 2780 fps using hornady brass with fed 215 primers, and IMR 4350 at 67.5 grains. It is just less than MOA and has worked well for shots on game out to 320 yards. My reloading is work in progress and I plan on slowly building up speed over the summer to see what kind of groups I get.
338 win mag, 210ttsx loads. What combo works for you?

Reloder 19 works the best for me, delivering 3011 fps average in a 26" Shilen and sub moa accuracy.
I will list my load with the understanding you would work up carefully from at least 4 grains below.
Winchester case, [trimmed to 2.490"] Federal 215 primer, 77.5 grains of Reloder 19. Seated .015" off the lands.
Another promising powder is Vihtavuori N560, but I need more time to wring it out.

Thanks Dave, I have had a hard time finding any rl powder lately. It seems to get sold pretty quick here in the peace region. How is that powder with the temp changes we get in b.c.? I hunt the mountains in the August heat and chase deer in the November cold.
You do lose a bit of velocity with RL19 in very cold temps, but I have not found it that bad, really.
VV N560 seems very stable, much like Norma MRP.. Dave.
I loaded the 210 ttsx 0.05" from the lands and loaded h4350 up in 1 gr increments up until it either shot or I was getting pressure signs.
I finished at 2900 fps from a 22" barrel with a load well above book max, no pressure issues and sub moa.
Good luck, the 210 ttsx is a great bullet, and the 338 is a real thumper.

Barnes 210 ttsx, 70.5 gr IMR4451, win brass, 3.375 OAL (so you can see the entire first groove protruding from the case neck), fed 215 primer. 2915 fps.
Win m70 .338, 26 in barrel
As everyone says, please start a couple grains lower and work your way up. Be safe.

I tried H4831sc in mine since I had it on hand - 210 TTSX, 74.0gr max load according to Barnes, Winchester case, CCI 250 primer. Seated .040 off the lands so 3.400 COAL for me. Velocity from a 24" pipe was only 2760 ft/sec where Barnes suggests 2850, but accuracy is very good - here's my last two sighting shots at 200M before my bison hunt last fall.
I've since picked up some IMR4350 to try to get a bit more horsepower, but I do wonder how much I could increase the load since I'm seated .080" longer than suggested without overpressure. I'll be playing with it more shortly, since I just got two more boxes of the blue-tipped copper goodness from Mr TTSX himself. ^^
