I've done some hog hunting around here...you think the ballistic tip is a good bullet to use on hogs, given the bone structure?

I've gotten great accuracy in a couple rifles out of the Federal Premium with both the 150 grain Nosler balistic tip and 165 grain Sierra btsp loadings.

Funny, I wasn't going to post it- but since others have- My .308 Striker shoots core lokts accurately as well.
I'm wanting to switch to fusions for my next rifle in order to pick up more down range energy (according to the charts). Problem with fusions in no one carries them locally like the core lokts.

RE: .308 ammo
Well i picked up a couple boxes of Hornady 150gr. SST and was very pleased with the range results. Sightingmy Ruger Frontier .308in for the first time at 100 yrds., i was able to manage 1&1/2" groups. Only a couple flyers out to 2"..this was before my time ended and i was ushered out for the next guy to shoot lol. Guessing if i had a bit more time i could have tightened it up a little more. Anyone had any experience with this round?

RE: .308 ammo
As for BT's, some like um, some dont. Horror stories were the norm a few years back but today i think its developement has increased its popularity. I have shot then from other rifles without any issues and these have all been shots inside 100 yrds. which was one of the horror stories that theycrumble at high velocity, at short range upon impact. My friend will use nothing but BT's for hogs/deer and he has yet to lose any of them. Then again my other hunting buddy says he would never look at them twice LOL...
