I am planing on taking a piggy at some range this year with my 300Win.

What do you guys suggest?

    There are lots of quality bullets to choose from these days that will work well in 300Win. for hogs,etc., but one that has never let me down is the 180gr Nosler Partition. I've killed feral hogs in excess of 400lbs with good results ( and they work equally as well on deer and elk ). If you want a bullet that you can seat out of the short neck farther and not be too long for the magazine they also make the 180gr Partition Protected Point just for that purpose on 300Win. Not quite as high a B.C. but at normal hunting ranges it doesn't matter on trajectory. -- I usually load the regular Partition under a maximum charge of IMR4350 powder or a heavy charge of RL22 shoots good in most guns............good luck.........[8D]

    Blue Mountain, Swift or possibly one of the newer look-alikes with bonded cores.

    I like a bullet that fully penetrates and I havent hads a bit of luck with the Interbond or Accubond. I have shot animals at 50 to 400 yards and have never got a shoot thru. Now everything thus far has dropped in their tracks with the Interbond but I like to see the bullet blow out the back side. This bullet was fire from a 300 Ultra mag @ 3350 fps 180 grain Interbond into a 250lb whitetail and it lodged between the off shoulder and skin. It lost about a 1/3 of its weight. I have found that the accubonds shed more weight than the Interbonds. From my experience so fat the Accubonds have lost 50-70% weight @100 yards or closer. I purchases about 10 boxes of Barnes TSX bullets to try in various calibers. If I dont like them I think I will go back to partitons.

    I would 2nd the 180 gr accubond, very accurate long range bullet. You don't need to worry about blowing holes in the back side becuase all that is, is wasted energy and wasted meat. Plus its kinda neat to find the bullet after it's done it's job. Just my opinion.
