[QUOTE="kshunter, post: 1043865, member: 19377"] Haven't killed a hog with the 30-06/ 208 amax combo but it worked great on a 230lb Kansas whitetail at 250 yards. Muzzle velocity of 2590fps with a 22" tube. Dime size entry hole and golf ball size exit. I have shot coyotes with the 168 amax running a mild 2700fps and it was violent to say the least. I feel the velocity an 06 pushes the 208 is extremely effective. Not to fast for closer shots if need be however plenty of retained velocity at longer distances to expand reliably. I would not hesitate to tote the ol savage 06 and 208 amax combo to hog country. The jury is still out on the 168 and 200ish pound game however. The 168s sure come apart on a coyote shoulder!!
