Thread: What's your pet Sika load?

I wish one day that someone could put up a picture of a sika on here with the areas on the animals clearly outlined in red where a hit from 308 bullet causes a fatal injury and a .222, .222 mag, 223, 5.56 hit in the same spot does not.

The 308 has been around for awhile now. Is it just nostalgia thats has kept it going. Like the old Deerculler who drags his ww11 303 out of the hot watercupboard and takes down to the range and tells every one that it was the best damned Deer and German killing gun the world has ever produced.

"Why I even shot a deer in the foot once and it fell down stone dead"

Long or short range. Interested in projectiles people are using on them. Generally with regards to reloaded ammo. Excludes factory, but if you have a good factory load would be interested.

Time depending I spend most my time on Sika. I currently have a .308 which I load 165 btsp and 130 hp Speer. Never had trouble with either on Sika or hybrids. The 165 does 2680 fps and constantly performs for me but have been thinking about switching to a lighter cal but what I've go really works. It an't broke, not going to fix it. Maybe someone will say something that jumps out at me.

I've got a .260 Rem reamer you could borrow Dan.
