I have tried 225ABs in a couple of my all-too many .338s, not impressed by the accuracy so far. I think I may have some 250s in my cupboard of bullets and powders, or, in one of the MTM ammo boxes full of handloads I have for each rifle.
My overall performance from 250NPs, from the dozen .338s I have owned since January, 1968, first cartridge I handloaded for and still my all time favourite round, has been so satisfactory that I use these almost exclusively for hunting and have since the late 70s-early 80s, when Nosler, improved them with redesign and whatever.
I am now testing the 225TTSX in my Dakota No. 1 as it is a "slow" bbl. and does only 2600 with my usual load of 250Nps RE-22-76, WLRM, WW brass. My four "old Model 70s" beat that by 200 fps and this is not all their factory 25" tubes. So, gotta speed it up as I wanna go Moose hunting with Mike!
