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.


I wasn't going to say it - thanks for making that point Jordan. It apparently goes right over the head's of some...
