Default 338wm Powder/load for 225gr

338wm/225gr load? Have IMR4350 and RL19 on my shelf and was thinking these two should be a good start. Any thoughts or other suggestions.

rifle: factory remington 700 BDL SS/24" barrel

thanks

I'm using RL19 for my 338 and have great results. I havent tried any other powders yet, but the loads I made with the RL 19 are the most accurate I've ever shot.
