So you're dropping the bullet weight to gain some speed for 200yrd shooting? That doesn't really compute.

A 130grn with a ~.400 BC at 2500 will have about 8" more drop at 600yrds than a ~.300 BC 100grn at 2800fps. Zeroed at 150, there's only about 1/2" difference in drop between the two at 200yrds, and about 3" difference at 300.

Alternatively, the 130grn pill will hit with over 20% more momentum at 300yrds, better for punching through hard stuff and knocking hogs down.

I've loaded the 6.8 from 85 up to 140's, truth be told, any of them are going to hit hard enough to handle your 100-200lb hogs comfortably.

Zero at 150-180yrds and you'll be clean to 200yrds MPBR with ease out of either bullet.

Now, that said, the Accubond isn't going to blow up on you. Weight retention for the accubond at 6.8spc speeds is rather good, expansion won't be huge, but sufficient.

Then again, maybe I'm biased - most of my piggies have been killed with a 22cal 50grn V-max or 60grn Partition. The 6.8 in any flavor is a lot more hammer.
