Don't get caught outgunned, step up to the 6.8mm

Cheap and very accurate in my rifle. Performed poorly on hogs had to shoot each hog multiple times. In fact I almost sold my 6.8 they performed so poorly on hogs.
Dead pig counter: 941
Another universally accurate bullet for the 6.8 SPC. Anywhere from 28.7-29.5 GR of H322 worked great. Also very accurate with just about any powder.
28.5 grs 2200
Hornady brass
tula 556 srm primer
2.280" oal
VERY small groups. Sub quarter moa easily.
Poor performance on deer. Long trails after good hits. Bullet is kinda tough for sub 300# game imo.

I don't understand why, but the 110 grain pro hunters have not been very accurate in either one of my guns.
Ditto. 110 SPH consistently delivers 2X the group size and 50-80 fps lower velocities vs Hornady 110 BTHP accross a spectrum of loads.Originally Posted by cag215
My sweet spot was right in the middle of that range and produced very good groups. Don't let the lead tip and AR action keep you away.

Very accurate. Never shot game, only paper and steel. Will shoot .5 inch using SSA brass with a Cartridge Over All Length of 2.295 inches, 29.5 grains of Alliant 10-X powder and a Remington 7 1/2 Bench Rest primer.

I have only shot one hog with it and that was by accident. I usually use 110 gr Barnes but mixed up mags and grabbed the one with the Pro hunters in them. The bullet entered the hog penetrated about 5-6 inches and just exploded. Nothing left but the jacket. I was very unhappy with the results. load was 28 grains H322 and it was a running shot at 50-60 yards. The bullet entered the rear hind quarter and just exploded. The hogs were running away from us after we shot the big boar and this one was the next biggest one only about 125 lbs. This load shoots right at 1 MOA in my 1/10 gun.
Very accurate and excellent performance in both of my Stags. 2 hogs and 3 deer last year, all between 75 and 200 yds. None ran more than 20 yds.
Load data: 29.0 grns RL10X, 2.285" OAL. Avg 2550 fps out of 5H, 2720 fps out of 7H.
