I`m told by friends that I need to shoot 180 grain 308 rounds for the really big Boar in Hungary . Are soft points ok or do I need some others that penetrate first then expand ?
Other bullets which open up but retain some weight and penetrate deeply are the Nosler Partition and Accubond, and the Speer Grand Slam.
got 180's Samson sp will be selling them at the H4H again at a silly price
That's if the case head doesn't failI have found privi 180 gr soft points to work just as well as any other on wild boar.

Used lots of PPU in varouse calibres so far and not had a problem, please enlighten us.That's if the case head doesn't fail
I use 150 grn on boar and they work fine with body shots.
I recently saw a TV programme about a Guy in USA who was after a "Giant hog" that had been terrorrising his local community. He said he usually used .243 on Hogs but this one called for something much bigger, a 7.62mm. It didnt make it clear which round but i found it interesting that he found .243 fine for regular hog hunting.

Last Spring, I posted about a farmer I knew who had shot a 340-lb boar which was raiding his horse feed and water in a field at the foothills of the mountains, with an AR-15, using a Winchester 64-gr bullet. It was not a body shot. His firs shot was to the base of the skull, severing the spine there and killing it instantly.I use 150 grn on boar and they work fine with body shots.
