Teeing of of this, What would be the lighted bullet you would use with h1000. In my 300 win mag. It's a Christensen Arms ridgeline.
Also I've got some hogdon blc-2. That I had for an old 25-06. Wonder if that would be a decent substitute for 4895. Wealth of knowledge here and I'm just trying to absorb

Welcome to LRH from AZ.
Use what ever you have for Javelina, don't need to try a different load, shot them with what you have.
I've taken them with a 223 Rem, 7mm-08, 280 Rem, 270 Win, and a 7mm Rem Mag. All of them killed them just the same, and head shots work best so you don't mess up the little meat they have.

FYI, can't hunt large game in AZ with Rimfire cartridges, any centerline rifle will work though.
There are two rimfires you can use for javelina, the 22 Magnum Rimfire and the 5mm Rimfire Magnum . Heck you can even use a spear!

Welcome. Just stand real still and use a baseball bat. Easier to clean. 
You learn something new every day, thanks for sharing.
Used my 300 wm once with a 150gr winchester xp3 bullet . Shot was at 10 feet as we were checking for blood from my 348yd shot. Hit front shoulder on a quartering shot . Launched the javalina 3 feet into a Pyle of brush and field dressed with the shot . Way to much gun.
