Hornady 130 gr .308 bullets out of an ‘06 or .308 have been great performers on our local WT’s.
Good bud has killed several with his two ‘06’s, 130 gr Horn SP over 59 gr BG at 3K+ fps. His relatively new Rem 700 can barely keep up with his 80 yr old vintage 1903 Springfield, both near MOA with that load. The Springfield barrel is about mint thru the Hawkeye, thus giving the M-700 serious competition.
Supply getting low, I needed to get more of those bullets. Midway says they’re discontinued. Surprise, surprise. Horn did it again.
Well, I was able to find some from an obscure on line dealer. So 200 are headed my way. Hopefully they’ll last us for a while.
Those bullets at that speed really do a job on WT’s, consistent exits with good tissue damage, quick kills.
