Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Factory brown bear load for a .338 Win Mag

Ditto what ray said!Stay away from the speer 200gr bullet.I shot this into a box of books and it disinegrated.Poorly constructed bullet.

In my opionion any of the bullets mentioned here should do the job. Id chose the one that shot best in my rifle. None of them will do the job if you don't place it in the correct spot. Id use 200 grains and above but other than that shot well and they will all do the job.

Used 250 g factory noslers out of my .338 on my first brown bear and they worked great.

I'd run the lightest weight Sierra I could find, might as well make it sporty!

Now, now, we can't go getting the patron of my elk camp et up by a bear!

One of my good friends guides browns and grizz... he has done all his work between the 225 and 250 TSX and won't use anything else since appx 2003. If its strictly browns its 250 TSX.

Gentlemen,

Just wanted to update the thread.

My buddy has decided on the 225-gn TBBC.

I know it's too late, but I would prefer a Federal 225-Grain TSX (loaded to produce 2,800 fps at the muzzle), over a 225-grain TB, although the 225-grain TBBC HE from Federal (if available) would be good, too.

Here is how the Remington factory load with the 225 gr. Swift A-frame worked for me.
