[atxsniper]

I haven't started reloading yet, I'm currently shooting 308 black hills 175 Gr match bthp. I need to buy a box of hunting ammo, what will have the most similar ballistic characteristics?

I go with "308 black hills 175 Gr match bthp" It's gonna do the job unless you're hunting something BIG like brown bears or moose. If you're talking about hunting in TX the I'd stay with what you know shoots. 175gn smk will kill anything in TX deader then dead

I know the bthp will kill pretty much anything. I plan on shooting hogs though so I could use alittle more penetration. I plan on shooting them out to 500 yards

I've killed a #175 hog at 526yards with a 168gn Amax. He never moved from his tracks. They will do the job.
The problem you will run into is finding 2 loads with the same POA - POI especially at 500 yards.

Thanks I picked up a box of 168gr amax. Now I just gotta see the difference in poi.

175gn SMK will provide the same results. Might take a look that those too
