[QUOTE="Okie John, post: 2620186, member: 121608"] Back from this hunt and wanted to follow up. Largely because of this thread, I swapped out my 30-06 for a Model 700 in 308 loaded with a 150-grain Barnes TSX over 49.7 grains of CFE-223. MV is right at 2,800 fps in this rifle. I killed one 70-ish pound hog at about 50 yards with one shot on the first night, then got skunked the next night. The bullet expanded and exited. The hog dropped in its tracks. I made the shot about 9:00 PM when the temperature was about 75F, so heat wasn't a problem. But it was 85F when I checked my zero and could easily have been 10-20 degrees hotter, so I'm glad I made the switch. Thanks to all who replied. Okie John [/QUOTE]
