In my opionion any of the bullets mentioned here should do the job. Id chose the one that shot best in my rifle. None of them will do the job if you don't place it in the correct spot. Id use 200 grains and above but other than that shot well and they will all do the job.

Used 250 g factory noslers out of my .338 on my first brown bear and they worked great.

I'd run the lightest weight Sierra I could find, might as well make it sporty!

One of my good friends guides browns and grizz... he has done all his work between the 225 and 250 TSX and won't use anything else since appx 2003. If its strictly browns its 250 TSX.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Gentlemen,
Just wanted to update the thread.
My buddy has decided on the 225-gn TBBC.

I know it's too late, but I would prefer a Federal 225-Grain TSX (loaded to produce 2,800 fps at the muzzle), over a 225-grain TB, although the 225-grain TBBC HE from Federal (if available) would be good, too.
