What loads do you guys have with 225 and 250 bullets in the 338 Federal and the 358 Winchester, and what is the FPS are you getting?

I think both are fine under 300 yds with good shot placement.
If it were me, I'd load a 185x in 338Fed or 210 partition, possibly a 225gr.
In 358W, a 225 Sierra or Partition.

The 338 Federal with the 210 TSX is an excelent performer for sure, as these photo's will attest..
Exit in Hide
Rifle used was a Kimber total wieght of 6 pounds including scope

This load is one I worked up to in my .358 rifle - use caution in yours!
52 gr of W-748 under a 225 partition, CCI Std LR primer, Win .358 brass. 2572 FPS
Dropping to 50 gr gave 2535 FPS and is the load I settled on.
Both powder charges also worked with 225 gr TSX, but accuracy was a little more consistent with the partition.
