185 grain barnes TTSX, .435 B.C., over H335 and a CCI magnum primer. Excellent accuracy and great speed, +2800 fps in a 22" barrel, with no pressure signs. I found Benchmark worked well too but showed pressure signs before getting to max velocity. They also make the TTSX in a 160 for 338.

For target shooting the lead core 180 and 200 grain bullets make great inexpensive target rounds. The 338 only burns about 45 grains of powder to produce pretty high velocity with a heavy bullet and is thus a very pleasant gun to shoot and it really hammers the game down.
