180gr/ .338 Accubond

[Silent Sam]

Has anyone used these on game? Not too worried about them, just curious. I am getting ready to load some for a 338 WinMag. Win cases, Fed 215s, and IMR 4350. Probably start around 72 grains. Should be able to push them around 3100fps pretty easy. If I get it shooting straight I plan on taking it to S.Texas next year and whack some hogs and coyotes.

I have killed a mule deer with the 200 grain Hornady factory load in the .338 WM. The deer was DRT when I came down from recoil. All I could see was hair floating in the scope field at about 65 yards. One back foot moved and that was that! The 200 gr Hornady's are not as tough a bullet as the 180 AccuBond's, I don't see a problem. They should be a spectacular hog load.
