[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2402249, member: 21446"] Zen you should get better velocities with faster powders such as varget, Vit540 or Vit140. I’ve killed a few 180lb boars lately with the 124 HH at 3050 fps and getting full pass throughs with good results. I ran my 16” 30-06 up to 3250fps with the 124s and saw no pressure signs but was out of room for powder. But at 3050 it still hits them plenty hard and the recoil is much lower out of my light rifle. If you have faster powders available to load with I would try them but still drop the velocity down to 3200-3300 that way you could run identical velocities as now but it would be at much lower pressures dropping recoil down significantly, especially on an ar-10. I believe that is plenty of velocity to take down the biggest boars at typical night hunting ranges. Just a thought, nothing wrong at all with your current combo. [/QUOTE]
