I think I ordered the wrong bullets

[RogueHk]

Well being a noob I just went out and bought some 338 bullets that are 300 grain based on a load that was given to me. 88 grains of H1000 and Berger Tactical OTM Bullets 338 Cal 300 Grain bullets. When I got the bullets they said 1-10 twist and I think I have a 1-9.5 Twist.. Will the 1-10 bullets still work or what?

Yes, they'll be fine.

If a bullet is labeled for a certain twist it typically is the minimum rate of twist needed. A faster twist typically doesn't hurt anything.

Ditto what teerex said. Your twist is probably right in the sweet spot.

Totally wrong. Don't attempt to shoot them rather send them to me for proper disposal.

They'll be just fine and are great bullets, I love them.

Yeah that is a minimum twist required faster could loose a little velocity but you are so close it will probably show no difference.

That label on box was minimum twist for proper shoot those bullet.

You 9.5 if faster than their minimum required. So, dont worry. It should be fine.
