I need good bullet for .338 Win Mag for whitetails and for moose
I am a deer hunter from finland. .338 Win Mag is not so popular caliber in finland. So I think to ask help for you. I need accurate and good bullet for deer hunting and moose hunting. Can you recommederad weight 180, 200, 225 or 250 grain bullet. Shooting range is mostly 50-100yards. My rifle is Sako 75 Hunter. I can reload my cartridgesThans for your help!

Well it's really up to your rifle what it likes the best and what it shoots the best.. BUT, I would start with 250 Nosler and maybe some lighter Nosler also. Try some Barnes X too and maybe Remington Swift A Frame.. But shoot several and see what the rifle prefers..
338 is one of my favorite cartridges. While it's perfect for moose I'm not so sure I'd shoot a deer with one, would either poke a little hole and keep going or if shot is far enough away it would just tear the heck outa it.. Dead is dead I guess...

Might as well be shooting a 155 Howitzer. Any of the named bullets will kill a deer or moose. A friend of mine that lived in several states from Michigan to Idaho said that he killed a number of elk and moose with a .243.
