what is the best 308 130GR pojectile for deer
Hi i am looking to reduce the recoil in my 308 because of injury to my shoulder I loaded up some 125 gr SSTs and shot 3 pigs the other day killed the pigs but fark what a mess shot 1 pig in the head from behind about 60m away blew half its head off second pig in the head side on its head was still intact but you could fold it in half third pig shot it in the shoulder running hard out about 100m away blew its front leg off so 2 shots to finish it off sorry no photos got to dark and my phone takes shit photos. very accurate load but to bloody explosive so if I used them for deer I would be very reluctant to shoot it unless I could neck shoot it.
so back to the drawing board:cave: your thoughts and wisdom on this would be appreciated

I shoot the Barnes 130 ttsx at just over 3k in my .308, which is a warm load in my short barrel. Somewhere around 2750-2800 it would be a very mild recoiling load. And they don’t blow massive holes.
