[QUOTE="TIMEBY, post: 1605005, member: 71389"] I used only .270s for years. 130gr SST, and if I do my job as a marksman, the hogs drop every time. Shoots flat, entirely adequate for hogs. Can't speak for deer; I don't hunt Bambi. Thing is, I almost never get an exit wound, but they drop if I get a good hit. I usually aim at the front shoulder, especially as I get older and shakier. Their heads keep getting smaller! Just recently I bought a Savage Scout in .308 and added a suppressor. At this early date I am 2 fer 2 shooting GMX 165 grains. Very pleased with the .308. Still no pass throughs, though, with hits in the shoulder. Range at night with a Digisight night scope have been around 100 yards. Just my experience... [/QUOTE]
