While I am sure they would do the job, I personally like insurance and would look to a NP, TSX, etc for either animal and the 338.

Good Luck

Would work just fine, but me personally I would go with the Nosler Partition or Accubond.

There isnt any way he is gonna change the bullet weight... But he might go with a diffrent bullet brand.

Sure it'll work but it raises the question of why you got a .338WM if you're only going to shoot 200 grain bullets out of it? The .300WM with a 200 grain bullet would have been a more accurate combination with similar energy. Personally I feel that even the 225 grain is a bit enemic in the .338WM which I feel should be shooting a 250 grainer to realize it's full potential. I even go up to the 275 grain Speer HotCor in my .340Wby, but that's JMHO.
