Some years back I made up a dummy round with a 210 Nosler in it and asked a 'smith to build a rifle around it. Only 210 Noslers have ever been fired in it. Seven Elk down, five one shot kills. It was made for my often deployed Grandson who can't hunt with it every year.
Tracks gave the answer I’d have given, and has the experience to back it up. When I had a 338-06 all it got fed was the 210 NP. That and a 200 NBT or NAB are what I’d run in it. When I used a 338 WM all it got fed was the 210 NP too... I believe, like the 270/130, it kills out of proportion to its “numbers”, and I never found it lacking on bull elk. My friend Dober swears by the 200 NBT in the 338-06 and has killed bull elk with it.
