[QUOTE="pvanwyk, post: 168961, member: 3421"] I used the GS customer 150gr HV for a couple of seasons in my 308Win. Was running at about 2650ft/s (mild load). My 110 pound wife used it to comfortably shoot a number of different game species in a light weight BDL rem. During the couple of seasons that we used the bullets we managed to shoot everything from Springbuck (50 pound antelope) through to Oryx (couple of hundred pounds). As a comparison both a friend and I shot Oryx bulls in the Kalahari. Both shots where at approx. 250 yards. He was using 180gr Nosler partitions in a 30-06. I used my 308Win with 150gr GS custom. Although the shot placement wasn't the same (he took out both shoulders, I had a quartering away shot, placing the bullet behind the shoulder and breaking the far shoulder) the Nolser did not exit the Oryx, while the GS custom did. With regards expansion I have no idea as we have never recovered any bullets. In my experience from the 15 odd animals that have been shot with the GS custom bullets I would not hesitate to recommend them on hogs or bigger. I eventually changed to SMk's because of reliable ballistics software, BC's .... [/QUOTE]
