Hey Guest, it looks like you haven't made your first post yet. Until you make an introduction thread, the rest of the site is locked to posting. Why not take a few minutes to say hi!
Yet another 308 boar.
Yet another 308 bullet test subject. I believe no 11. He was a stout one. Heart girth measurement was 47". Puts him in the 270 pound range. Both the farmer and me had game cam photos of a lone boar during the wee hours of the night. He got into the freshly planted peanuts after it quit raining around 3:30 am Friday morning. Setup Friday night on the peanut field and watched deer all night. Then just a little after midnight he finally shows. Closed the distance then he started heading my way. Popped him at 112 yards. DRT.
PS: I will be loading 6.8 spcii real soon now. lol

It's a prototype 308 cal a buddy gave me to test on hogs. I can't reveal anything about them until they have been officially released.
In my estimation they are the Hammer of Thor on hogs.

The first boar I shot with the new 308 bullet I was still in shoot until it stops moving mode having been conditioned by the Hornady 100 CX bullets to do so. (Notice I didn't mention the 6.8 as a contributing factor to that lack of performance conditioning. 
)
This was the second boar I shot with the test 308 bullets and the one that gave the Hammer of Thor moniker. On this boar, 49" HG brute, he acted like he was hurt, running via an odd gait and speed, even with a less than ideal shot. Since there was at least 300 yards to cover, I let him go without followup shots. He piled up in less than 100 yards if that far. Are these bullets the be-all-end-all bullets? No but I'm sure liking how they perform in the 308 - tried and true 308 load too. Too bad they don't produce them in 6.8.
I'm not knocking the 6.8 as I'm a dyed in the wool 270 guy. I'm a rifleman first and expect of myself and components the best performance on game. Right now I'm riding that wave and having a blast doing it.

One more time - 308
One more time with the 308. Guesstimate is a 150ish yard shot. Hit him a bit back as I have a tendency to drift windage when shooting off a tripod. He ran approx 100 yards. He was a brute. Noticeably larger than the last boar. Heart Girth diameter, 49", weight estimates were 292 and 296 pounds...
