All I know is the 150's from a 30-06 is tough enough to kill 200-250lb hogs even when hit in the shoulder. They don't go far and never ever have I lost one. Now I only hunted hogs for the 8 years I lived in GA so I don't have a huge sampling. But I guess I must have killed 50-60 or so with the 30-06 and 150 BTSP Gamekings. The rest were with 7mm-08 and 25-06 and even the 243 with 95 grain Nosler BT.
