Nosler's new accubonds shoot allot better than their partitions do!Both are great bullets!

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.
