I would add that I killed one mule deer doe with a 25-06 and the 117 Sierra and I felt it was a pretty tough bullet. I also used the 165 SBT in the old Federal Red Box 30-06 ammo in the 70's. Up close on hogs it did swell, held together just fine. My BIL uses the .308 with the 150gr SBT on East Tx deer and hogs just fine. So, I a big heavy hog is what I call "big game" ( bigger than deer as far as being more solid, heavy muscle & fat plus thick skin which is( usually matted with mud) However, I sure did not like how that 300gr SBT did on that elk, it was only going 2600fps too. I have read where a lot of moose hunting guides use the 200gr SBT in the 30-06, but I have never used it myself. Just "off hand" I don't think I would use any GK when I could use the Pro Hunter, especially on elk/bear/moose. Have a ball though Pard!
