I took my first elk with a .54 cal lead ball at about 125 yards. The next 12 were all taken with my .270 win and whatever 130 grain ammo was on sale that year. As everyone else has said, shot placement is key. The Barnes will work just fine, like someone else said keep the velocity above 2,000 fps.

I do a lot of reloading for old military cartridges and find that quite often. Usually due to long throats in military calibers. I've never loaded for the 338 so, I can't help you there.
