    Just a thought. - - -> Loading for my guns chambered in 308Win,I have gone to a lighter and lighter bullet over the years.
    As bullet developement has progressed,with much better bullet design and materials,I find that I can drop down in weight to obtain a better trajectory.
    Out of my AR/308's,I now shoot a 130gr Barnes TSX. I also have a bolt gun that likes this same formula.
    You really do not need to go heavy for hogs or deer at the reasonable ranges. Bullet makeup/design is the key.
    Look low and see what you find. --- SAWMAN

    That’s kind of what I was thinking. I don’t want to go with the barnes bullets, but was wondering about going lighter.
