[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 616016, member: 17844"] It depends on where you hit them. If you hit them behind the ear , the brain , the bullet dose not matter all that much in a 308. If you hit them in the shoulder then a good slow expansion bullet is good. If you hit t hem behind the shoulder then a bit faster expansion bullet is good. Just work out what your bullet does and aim in the right place for the type of bullet you have . Feral hogs are not that hard to kill with just about any 308 bullet at short range but as the range gets longer then more thought has to be put into terminal ballistics . The SST should be ok behind the shoulder and the ear and the Hornady interlock ok on the shoulder and behind the ear. However for all angle shots the Core bonded or Interlok type bullet is more reliable in more situations . I make my own core bonded bullets in 308 and they work very well at upto about 200 yards on pigs. [/QUOTE]
