How about a 1000 pound pig. Texas has them and you can shoot them day or night with no limits and from heliocopters.
I'm from Florida I've killed a bunch of pigs but never 1000 pounder

Well, I was exaggerating. This is Texas after all. But there is a story of one over 1000 taken near San Antonio.

And Ken Holyoke in Georgia was a fish farmer that supposedly killed 1000 pounder that they called hogzilla but it was proven to be slightly smaller

I wonder if the meat tastes better than the Javalinas that weed my lawn?
I would say probably have to taste better than the old skunk pig

My neighbor is from the Philippines and he offered to cook one for me if I would shoot it. I told him it was doing more good eating the dandelions out of my lawn that it would on my dining table. No thanks.
Not to get back to the main topic ..as I'm injoying the posts !!
But in all 6 of my 338's I run the 300 gr berger , cci mag 250 primers and H-1000.
They range from 2803 ft.per.sec to 2884 ft.per.sec. they are Amazing on Spring Bear and not to bad at 1244 yards on my Fall Elk .
I have spent countless hrs in loading and shooting the 338 's ..
So far three in the same hole at 100 yrds.
Smacked a Milk Jug at a Mile , rang steel at 2053 yrds and my personal best ...26 3/4" group on a 36" steel target at 3027 yards .
After reading all the post above I'm seriously thinking about some Michigan whitetail hunting with the 338 Edge !
Best of Luck in finding your loads in the 338 !

Thanks for all the answers. If I didnt pick your answer then it was because I couldnt find it.....decent excuse.....
Based on the above and other threads in this list , my first loads will be Peterson brass (that's what is left over from the ARM factory stuff I already have), Federal #215 primers (had to buy 2,000 because small quantities were out of stock everywhere), 250 grain Berger elite bullets and whatever powder I can find. Was looking for H1000 but everywhere I look its out of stock. Its going to be pot-luck on the powder.
Thanks again for the valuable input.
