I have always tried the lighter weights in 338 cal but never went lower than 180 NAB. I look at any 338mag as a replacement for the 300s, really. I currently have this 338WM and was thinking about the Barnes 160 or 180AB in it for "reach out and touch deer & hogs, cow elk even". For me, If it shot it well enough I'd be tempted to shoot 400-500 or so, maybe. smile Anyone have any experience doing this on deer/hogs with your 338s? Thanks, Jim
