Thread: 308 bush pig fps

hey guys wondering what speeds your getting out of your bush pigs. cheers team

Would depend on projectile weight surely ?

Just run some Hornady Whitetail 150gr through 17 inch Kimber Montana 308. 2623fps.

I run 30-30 projectiles in my 16.5" Bergara 308, only pushing them at 2350fps.

PPU factory 150gr 308 ammo does 2610fps.

Hornady 150 sst
Mild load but extremely accurate out of a 16 inch barrel.
Hotter load 2730 still accurate.
Plent for most of my shooting under 200 yards

Mwant to say 2600 on mild load

175grainer at 2550 for 18inch

awesome team, 2600 150grsst out of 16inch barrel is acceptable then

Hornady 150sst. 2750fps

125-130gr 2950-3000fps
165gr 2500-2600fps
16.5"

2550 fps with 168gr TMK, ELD-m, A-max and for deer within 400m.

As above. Just shy of 3K with a 125AB and just shy of 2550 with a 168 ELD-M.

180sst 2473 16”

OK I will type this slowly......WHO CARES???? IT DOESNT MATTER.

the deer at true bush ranges..sub hundred yards sure as hell wont.... the very best factory .308 load for bush/close range work is bog standard 180grn winchester power points......

if you are above 2200fps you are better than the .30/30 and NOBODY complains about how well it has killed deer for how many years now????

Some people obviously do care and just because it is a bush pig doesn't mean you have to use it at "bush" ranges. I know I can reach out with mine if necessary and with modern high BC projectiles and dial up scopes it makes the 30-30 look pretty lame when you take it to the tops. And you really don't have to SHOUT, even if you do type slowly.
