I don't have my manual at work but if what he says it rue then his buddy loaded the low end under the website starting load and the upper end is a grain over the Max load. Now I am a little on the over cautious side of things for reloading but I wouldn't do that and I can't see shootign 162's out of that for about anything around here. I'd probably be sitting with the 130's

Hi Bob, The 120gr Nosler BT is famous for holding up to some very big animals up to moose and not failing. The 120gr Barnes TTSX is as good or even better!
Any 140gr bullet from Nosler or Barnes would also be perfectly good.
There is absolutely no reason for him to be shooting 162gr bullets for a hog or any bear he might encounter around here, IMO and you stated.
I haven't checked his numbers yet but I'd be VERY cautious of anybody reloading for me and if on the very rare chance I'd load for somebody else there isn't a snowballs chance in hell I'd load even close to a max load.
