Never shot the 210 TSX out of my .338WM, but I've shot 210 Partitions and 200gr Ballistic Tips and RL15 worked great. I have used RL 15 with other semi-light for caliber bullets including 125's and 150's in an '06, and most recently 235gr TSXs in my .375 H&H, and it worked great everytime.

R17 is the first place I'd try although I have no 338 win mag experience with it. But I think it's gonna rock in that round.
From my actual personal experience R19 would be the choice I'd go with.

Try R-15, I'm having good luck with my .338wm and 210TSX's. Since the bore size to case capacity is very close to a .308 win and R-15 is a go-to powder for it, R-15 works out very well in the .338wm. I've used a variety of powders and had good results with H4831 and IMR4350 also, mostly with the heavier bullets, but for the 210TSX's I get better accuracy and nearly as much velocity with R-15.

Dober +1 on the RL-17............... Can't wait for the Aussie importer to actually import some!

I am using Varget with the 210 TSXs. I get very good accuracy, but have not chronographed my load yet. (My chronograph doesn't like bright, sunny days and I have not located any of the flexible fiberglass panels that various posters have recommended as a fix.) It does shoot little bitty groups at 100 yards--the smallest groups that I have ever experienced with my .338 WM.
