[QUOTE="Woodbutchertoo, post: 1029437, member: 61419"] I just got my first 338 Lapua rifle this week. The rifle is a TRG-42 1-10 twist. It came with a box of Berger 300 grn hybrid OTM bullets and a lot of once fired Lapua brass. I want to save the 300 grain bullets for some 1000 yd work and don't want to work the barrel harder than I need to. (I've been working with H-1000 powder.) My goal is to shoot hogs under feeders at long range, (night and day). I can see 4 different feeders from our lake levee from between 600 to 800 yds. I shoot Sierra Game kings out of most of my rifles when hunting...260 Rem, 270 WSM etc.. I don't see any Game Kings heavier than 250 grain. 1) any experience with 250 gn .338 Game Kings? Load suggestions? 2) any suggestions for a 285 gn or similar weight in a hunting bullet? Load suggestions? we have a lot of very large hogs and I love it when they don't know where the shots coming from. Lots of follow up shots. Most bed down in the lake bottom and come running back until they figure out where shots are coming from. [/QUOTE]
