Thread: 243 vs 30.06

130 TTSX fast would do some damage...not the best for longer range though... but unless you are dialing for range they would be fine

Although the 243 with the 85gr TSX would still work well for most, in fact all if you placed the shot right

Really? Not criticizing at all but through my 270 the sst 130 gners have given me nothing but praise for the damage they've done on reds.
Having said that I haven't shot pigs with them.

270 with its slimmer pill may slip through OK.... the pig just ended up with a dinner plate dish in the side for the first shot....broken ribs but no hole
