Has anyone had good luck with 225gr AB in a 338 winmag

I was looking for a good started point with the 225AB. I've read about every string on the .338 Some good some not so good. So did anyone get them to work or not. If you did give me a starting point.

Thanks

I went with Nosler max load of RL19 for 225 Partitions, using Fed 215M primers. Now I have the luxury & pain of further dialing in a load using the Browning BOSS. No, I don't get sub-MOA groups, but for hunting purposes it works.

P.S. I did start at lower charges and worked up.

I've got a boss on my rifle as well. Let me know how it goes

Thanks Drew

I have mine set at 5.75 for 225AB using 72.5gn of RL19, 215M Primer, and Win cases. Haven't chronographed it yet. Of course your gun may want something different. Have fun testing.
