I use 210 Partitions for Caribou and such. 250's for the bigger stuff. Two 338s are handy each one can be sighted in appropriately.

Boy, the 210gr Swift Scirocco doesn't get much airtime. I use it with great results. It is a little tough to find at times though. Has a high BC and holds together extremely well.

I'm using up my 230 gr Failsafes and once those are gone I will try the 225 Noslers in either AB or Partition and see which group the best.

I switched to the 225gr NPT back in 1997 and haven't looked back.
I still have a box of old 225gr TBBC rat holed away that my rifle just loves; not quite sure why I'm holding on to them. They sit next to the old 275gr Speer's.
Lot's of good choices these days.

I like the 250 gr Nosler Partion. Had an amazing 1 shot kill on a g bear, no flippy floppy at 250 yards.

+ 1 on the 250 Nosler. TSX are good killers but I find them not as accurate.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

I used the 230gr Failsafe Winchester Supreme load almost exclusively. Worked up a load with 185 gr TSX at 3200fps. Never shot anything with it though. Was for long range elk.
