Check the Western Powders reloading guide for a few loads using their powders (X-term, 2230, TAC) with the Nosler 225 accubond. Alliant has loads for the A-bond and for the Speer boat tail 225 and one for the flat base 225. Overall, I think, you will do better with a shorter, lighter choice, like a 200. I like the Speer flat base 200 as it will hold up well at Fed. velocities. Its BC of about .45 isn't so impressive today but higher velocity with it vs. the 225s help offset any BC advantage of the slippery stuff at lower velocities. Additionally, you most likely won't use a 338 Fed for those 600-800 yard shots so the BC isn't critical.
