I hunted with a 308 Win for 90% of everything from age 13 to about 35. Then for the next 8 years I used a much wider array of cartridges which was of course fun.

Recently consolidated my battery and most of those other cartridges are gone now, but there are still two 308s and I do NOT feel like I am underdone!

Me and two mates took 29 feral pigs this week, most were shot with two 308 Winchesters, a Sako A7 in my case and a Tikka CTR owned by one of the boys.

I'm convinced there is no finer pig cartridge. All were one shot kills except some of those which were shot running at great pace, none of whom were able to escape before a finishing shot was delivered.

Great cartridge.
