Do you guys think the SSA 115 gr OTM is fine for killing pigs?
I would like to get Barnes but its too expensive.

It is a fragmenting round. Have you tried the Pro-Hunters?

 

[outofammo]

yes, but SSA is out of stock...
so for the price, I was looking at theOTMS. What do you think? you think its ok?

Yes, they are OK.

 

[Aramark]

what would be the ideal target for 115s?

 

[dark1]

people are the optimal target for the OTM. the OTM round was made for Mil use to get around the Hague convention and get JAG approval to be used in combat

Ok new guy here,

What do all these Acronyms mean?

OTM, TNT, TSX, etc.. by all the bullets...Is there a reference somewhere?

OTM= Open Tip Match bullet.
TNT= It is the name of the Speed Varmint bullets.
TSX= The Barnes tripple shock bullets.

I think it's two years ago now, but there were three bull Caribou, 300 to 400 pounds each, taken in Alaska. The round used was SSA's 115gr OTM, one shot each. It didn't say if they were the hotter Tactical Loads or commercial pressure. If you want to see the pics check SSA's web sight under success stories. I'm not a hunting expert, but I think if it kills a 400 pound caribou it should do for pigs.

while it probably wouldn't be ideal becuase of the frag that you could get in the meat if you are doing like a pest removal project blast some and see how they work.

I dont know if you have seen this link but here is the gel tests for most of the ammo available for the 6.8 SPC viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3016

Just shoot em in teh head man. I'd still go for a body shot with OTM if it's all i could take, but rule of thumb is to always shoot your pigs behind the ear.

Best advice you can give when it comes to pig hunting.
