I have loaded the 225 AccuBond up to 2450 fps in a 22" barrel with 44.0 grains of Ramshot TAC, but Nosler does not list the 225 E-Tip in their .338 Federal data, probably because it results in higher pressure than lead-core bullets of the same weight.

44.1 grains of TAC is the max listed by Ramshot for 225's in the .338 Federal, but Nosler lists 42.5 as max with lead-cored bullets.

I would also be a little skeptical of the .611 BC at such low velocities. Generally BC in highest in plastic-tipped boattail spitzers at higher velocities.
