If you are just going to do this once now, and need some ammo, I recommend the Remington 180-gr Core Lokt RN. Federal also has an inexpensive line of180-gr RN ammo. Both have good bullets which hold together and expand well, and very accurate.
I have been using Winchester 220 gn recently and have quite a few left as I didn't always get the good peg !!
If you want to give them a try get in touch as I am sure I can spare a few at a decent price !!
Most of my fellow shooters were using either .308 with 180gr or 9.3 's with half a ton of lead !!Will let you know - how did you get on with them? what were your fellow shooters using?
Anyone shooting RWS 200gn? Usually use 150/168gn (deer) but have the opp for some boar - any thoughts / experience in the field much appreciated
I have been disappointed with the performance of 180gr core-lokt on red deer (pushing 3000fps out of a 300wm butnot far off 30-06 MV)
erratic on impact, bit messy on initial encounter with bone
still have a load to go through so tests not conclusive
I bought a box or RWS .308 150gn rounds once and had a job to open the SSG bolt after every shot. Never again!
