That said, I've killed a fair number with 165's out of a 30-06.

I'm definitely not saying that the 150 from a .308 won't do it, but particularly when it comes to C&C bullets, SD does matter. I certainly wouldn't assume that a .308" 150 gr Speer HC, for example, would hold together and penetrate the same as a .277" 150 gr Speer HC.


Agreed since a .308 150 grain Hotcor would be designed for deer and a .277 150 grain Horcor would be built a bit tougher for bigger game.
