[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 78605, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] I meant was what bullets should stabilize in a Ruger .338 barrel for shooting at 500 m.. [/ QUOTE ] Now, I'm with ya [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Any 338 bullet up to the 250gr will stableize in your ruger. Of all of the bullets you listed in your initial post are good for deer. However, I'd shy away from the ballistic tip for game. They are a bit explosive at times. Hogs are a bit of a different animal than the deer. I've done some hog hunting around Conroe and north of Fort Worth. Went after them with Catahoulas. THose guys are nuts. With the 338 and a real good sized hog I go with the Hornady 225gr bullet at the least. The 250gr would be good too. For an itty bitty hog any of your bullets will work well. HTH [/QUOTE]
