Bottom line find you some 180 core lotcI have a Remington 700 XCR Compact 308 rifle with a 1:12 twist rifling. For target shooting I use Berger 30 cal (.308), 175gr hybrid target bullets that work well. However, I need suggestions to select a bullet for reloading for hog hunting. Any thoughts?

Sierra Pro hunters 150gr shoot fantastic out of my 303B Enfield No4MK2!Hunting in a swamp a head shot was necessary to drop the hog on the spot or risk the hog getting away. The 125gr sierra pro hunter blew out the skull for drt.
That's quite the feat these days.The Nosler Partition in .308 caliber is a great bullet for hogs if you can find them.
+1I can’t honestly think of any 30 caliber hunting bullet launched from a 308 that wouldn’t kill a pig. What’s on your shelf or what can you get cheap?
