338 Win Mag info please

I'm not new to hand loading ammunition. I have been loading my familiar 308 and 30-06 for over 25 years, so I know about good manuals, equipment, and taking my time.

At the request of a family member I am looking at loading for a 338 Win Mag. My Father-in-law is going on a bear hunt in Alaska, and will also be using this rifle in Africa when he goes back. So I'm looking for a good hard hitting load.

I was given 2 boxes of Nosler Accubond in 225gr. Good, or No?

What have you had success with? Bullets, powder, ect...

I have a year before his trip, but want to save some expensive trial & error with your knowledge.
Thanks

    The 338 is fine for Alaska, the bullets you have are great.

    Find a good load that shoots well and go enjoy yourself.

    Several threads on the 338 have been posted, do a search for them and glean lots of good information.
