As of yet I havn't tried any Accubond at all I'm not a big Nosler fan have had bad experiences in the the past. I like a bullet that no matter where I hit them little hole just a little bigger hole coming out . Since your looking in the 200gr area I would suggest the 210gr Barnes TSXBT or the 210gr Swift Scirocco I shoot both and both are devastating on game they are stone cold killers. Shot 8 head of big game in 2 years with 30cal Scirocco's and 6.5mm TSX's and have yet to have one go 2 steps from point of impact most fell on there feet. Never recovered a bullet very little tissue damage and these were at ranges from 80ft to about 300 yards. The Barnes manual recommends IMR 4350 for the .338WM 64.0gr to 69.0gr. If using the TSXBT Barnes has stated it is safe to load above max but no more than about 2-3gr increasing by 1/2gn increments. I have done this myself and found great results in velocity and accuracy. Currently I'm shooting the 210 TSXBT at 3379fps using RL22 and the 210 Scirocco and 3245 fps using RL25 in my .338 RUM. As for loading the Swift Scirocco you can safely use the data I gave you from Barnes I did the same working up my load using RL 25 and the 210 Scirocco. Hope this helps even though it is only my opinion!
