[QUOTE="Coy Franks, post: 484457, member: 11220"] You knew it would happen so here is the dud post for this thread. I own a Rem Model 40 SSA in 308. A friend bought it for me to shoot feral hogs with. I was using a SKS and was loving it. I did not especially want a 308 but that is what he bought. I normally shoot an average of 12 hogs a week, sometimes 40 in one week and sometimes none for the week. I don't shoot deer, I don't shoot elk, moose, bear or anything else but varmints and hogs. I've shot 180, 165 and 150 grain bullets of every manufacture and my little gun would group them at about an inch at 100 yards. Not shabby but not extra spiffy either. I did not like any of the above bullets for what I do. I shoot 98% of my hogs on the run out of a pickup window (both sides) and you never seem to get the stock in the right position to avoid a painful kick. I've wore the internet out looking for something better and after reading how sorry the 125 grain Nosler BT's were I had to try them. My little rifle loved them at 2900 fps and would group three shots at .19 with anybodys and everybodys brass or a mix anytime of the day. The little Nosler shoots faster, flatter and with less recoil than anything else I've tried in 30 cal. The hogs loved them too! Some shots don't go all the way through and that's what I wanted. Nothing sounds better than rolling a 300 pound plus boar over and hearing that sloshing sound. I've shot them from 25 feet to 300 or more yards broadside, shots at angle, length wise front and back with the same results. Everyone told me the 308 would be versatile and inherently accurate and they were right and I could not be happier about it! Some friends are just worth keeping!! I just wish it would reload as fast as the SKS. [/QUOTE]
