I have a 338 Winchester mag shooting a tang safety Ruger.
I bought a bunch of 200 grain Nosler Accubonds and was hoping some one had a pet load they were willing to share.
I have 4895 RL19 4350 4831 varget in my reload stuff

I don't have any info re: the 200 grain Accubond, but I load the 225 grain Accubond and, surprisingly, the most accurate powder ended up being H4895; with Hornady 225 grain SP, the most accurate load was with IMR 4320. Hope this helps......

I would first go with RE-19 and then 4350, the 19 up to 76 grs. in WW cases, mag.primers, I prefer CCI 250s and WWs, and cut a half grain from my CCI loads when using WW mag. primers.
I KNOW you CAN load a "tad" hotter, but, 74-76-RE-19 works VERY well in every .338WM I have seen it used in and I have come to prefer RE-19 and RE-22 over ANY powder in this, my favourite cartridge for 45+ years and 13 different rifles, have six pretty fine ones now.

I am shooting 230gr. Failsafes (I know, discontinued... I have a couple hundred left). I am using 76gr. of RL-19 and am compressing the powder just a tad. No signs of overpressure. This round is very accurate in my Win Mod 70 Classic with a BOSS. I have been very successful with moose and bears!

Not the same bullets, but I am shooting Barnes 225 TSX and a Barnes reloading manual max load of IMR 4350 with outstanding results in accuracy. .

My .338 WM was my elk rifle therefor I shot heavier bullets. The most accurate load in my pre'64 Winchester M/70 used Speer 275gr. RN bullets over a max charge of IMR 4350. This load often produced 3 shot cloverleaf groups @ 100yds. and killed elk as though they'd been struck by lightning.

My Winchester model 70 with a Kriger barrel loves 71.5 gr of H4350 and 225 gr Nosler partitions.

72.4 gr H4350 under a 225 gr Accubond gets 2870 FPS and sub MOA accuracy in my M700 KS.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
