Now, Swamp, with lighter bullets, like 130's, even up to 150's, they are tit for tat. And, the average .308 may just shoot a slightly tighter group than the average 30-06.
DF I have no use for those light bullets.

308 does 80% of an 06 with the same recoil, what's too like? Fixed that.... Wrong again. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln You could easily see the difference by either firing both in similar rifles, or by calculating recoil with the usual formula - we'll let you use a calculator, too.

Swampman, there's uses for heavy bullets, there's uses for lighter bullets. Now, what about that proposition I mentioned earlier, using TTSX 130's at 3,150 fps out of my .308, a proven load that shoots 5/8" at a hundred. Now, don't you think that hot little bullet cruising along at over 3,000 fps is going to mess up a big hog's day? It's going to open up, and blast daylight all the way thru that nasty animal. How can you not like something so effective and so efficient as that?  DF

For me the light bullet is the 165. I'll doubt never use a TTSX.

Try it, you may even like it. Being non lead, they're longer per weight. That 130 TTSX is probably about the same length as your cup and core 150's, probably not far behind your 165's. They fly fast and punch deep. Depends on what 165 you're using, that TTSX 130 will probably penetrate as well if not better. And 3,100 fps is more destructive than 2,700 fps, not to mention flatter shooting. Puts a new profile on the "lowly" .308.
