i'm thinking that will work. If you want to try something, TAC has really proven itself to me in the 338 FED. You'll get 2800ish with the 180BTs, maybe a bit more given a 24" barrel, and very temp stable too. JB ran 49gn, I've settled on 48.5. Mild pressure signs with 49gn in ~100deg conditions and rather toasty rifle. Definitely the extreme. Some initial indications my accuracy is better with BR2s than FED 210s, need to get a few more data points though. Of course YMMV. 8208 is good with 180/185s as well, but I'll see pressure at slightly lower velocities than TAC. Lots of good choices out there.
