Dillonbuck,
Back when I started fooling with the .338 Winchester Magnum around 35 years ago, one of the bullets that proved to be a little tender at magnum velocity was the 200-grain Speer Hot-Core--but also found it worked very well at 2700 fps or so in are reduced load, which I used on whitetails in the local riverbottom cover. Expanded just right, usually leaving an inch-wide exit with a good blood trail (which generally wasn't needed) and little meat damage.
When I started using the .338 Federal, found the 200 Speer was very accurate in my Kimber--with a handload that got just about the same muzzle velocity. It worked just as well as the reduced .338 Winchester load.
This mirrors my experience using the 200 Speer in the .338-06, when loaded between 2600-2700fps.
