Hello I have a Remington 700 in the cartridge 338 WM and I would like to know that you think the tip Winchester PP in 200 grains for the boar and what bullet would you use to hunt at a distance greater than 200 meters. In general you look like the 338 Winchester Magnum.
Thank you
Remington.
I have had a 338 Win Mag however the only 338 I have currently is a 338 Ultra-Mag---which I use occasionally on elk here in my home state of Montana..in that rifle I am using Swift-A-Frames..
For elk and anything else I point it at, the bullet/caliber combination works fantastic...if I was hunting wild boar, that is still the bullet I would use..as they hold together amazingly well, typically with 90% retention or more...I have used that bullet almost exclusively in Africa and for elk here in the U.S.
Have not used Winchester PP bullets for a very long time..so can not give you an honest assessment on those for boar or anything else.. the last time I used them was out of a 300W Mag on whitetail deer..worked well but again, long time ago and very different animal than boar..
