When I get back over there someday I will again use my proven load of a 340 with 225gr TTSX's for most game ...
That's exactly what I'm using on my second Alaskan brown bear hunt, which starts in 8 days. I use the factory CorBon load that leaves my Accumark's barrel at a tight average of 3,160 fps. If the published B.C. (0.514) is correct for that bullet, it is still moving faster than 2,500 fps at 350 yds. That's only relevant for me because I also will be hunting for moose and wolf.
This is what the ballistic chart looks like:
