Anyone tried the remington 150gr core-lokts in 308 win on hogs? How do they perform? How do you think they would compare to the Hornady 150gr interlocks?

thanks

I saw 3 hogs shot with them, and they went no more then 15 yards. 150 Rem. cor-locks, works great, two thumbs up.

I have never pig hunted (but would like to this year). However I have used the Rem Core-loks out of my 30-06 on deer. I think I would go for the Nosler Partitions. I think the penetration would be better as well as no chance of fragmentation on close shots.

The only thing I have tried up close on hogs are speer 130gr btsp out of a 270. The do a heckuva job on head shots, not a whole lot left. :shock:

Bearwolf,
The only reason I replied is because the 150 gr hornady is my favorite for hogs. I shoot a .308 A-bolt and the hornady is a spectacular hog killer. The penetration is awesome and doubles on head shots is a sure thing. I don't know why you would want to switch unless your gun just doesn't shoot them well. SC hog hunter

Just switching to have a new short action rifle in stainless steel, its too much of a pain to try and keep the fancy blued 700 bdl from rusting up while chasing hogs out in the rice fields. :-)
