I have 338 Win mag in Sako 75ss rifle and my fav bullet is Barnes 225 gr TTSX.
Wt Buck about 100 y entry wound
Entry wound
Exit wound
No meat damage, no lead in meat, Buck run 25 yards.
I was hunting Elk with deer tag.
If I had only 1 rifle in 338 Win Mag I would use TTSX 185 gr for deer and 225 for elk and moose or either of those two weights for everything with nod to 225 gr as this bullet BC is .514 .

See folks, .338 magnum makes for a pretty nice meat getter without effing up the goods.
Very versatile cartridge, especially when handloaded.
