Agree with the guys about using heavier bullets 250's or heavier.
At the longer distances the trajectory is a bit of a rainbow, if this is a problem
move up to the 338 RUM and hang on.

Used 71.0 of IMR 4350 with 225gr in my 338 Win for years great load.
Suggest a premium 225Gr Nosler Partition bullet.

Biggest gun have 338 RUM with a 26”
91.0 of RL 22 with 225gr Swift A frame
I had it Mag Na Port to help on the muzzle rise a tad. Sure is a good shooter glad I stocked up on RP brass years ago. Hunting Moose here in Alaska the ranges up where I hunt can be ridge to ridge easily exceeding my 500 yard self imposed limitations of shooting at moose. I carefully laser in all the terrain features years ago for yardage calculations. Yes the 338 RUM and 225gr has almost replaced my beloved 338 WM. Yes scope eye relief and positioning of scope on rail is very important to prevent brow damage. Went thru 2 heavier 338 Lapua’s before switching to 338 RUM.
