[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 2267980, member: 115081"] Since I don't reload I use OTC Hornady American Whitetail 150gr SP. I tried one box each of Remington Core-Lokt, Federal 150gr SP Power Shok and Winchester 150gr Super-X PowerPoint. One X-Bolt, the FLD performs better with Hornady and the other X-Bolt, the Composite Stalker performs better with the Remington 150gr Core-Lokt. The Composite Stalker performs well with the Remington Core-Lokt 125gr SP. The Composite Stalker is zeroed at 100 yards with the 125gr SP for hogs. I don't have any issue considering I've taken hogs with my Bushmaster out to 100 yards with .223 Hornady Frontier 55gr SP. For the hogs I usually get my shot between the eye and ear which drops them where they stand. The .30-06 150grs lethal out to 400 to 450 yards, after that there isn't enough velocity for expansion. These 150gr SP runs less than, pre-scamdemic, $21/box and the .223 Hornady Frontier $10/box. I don't believe or fall for the marketing campaign that a bullet with an engine on it @ $40/box performs better than a $21/box ammo for average distances of 400 yards or less. I have yet to be disappointed with the performance of any of the above ammo. As everyone knows it's all about shot placement. [/QUOTE]
