I killed this boar at 130 yds last Feb with a Savage 10FP in .308 Win.  The handload was a 165 gr Hornady SST with 42.5 gr IMR4064 and a Fed 210 primer.  The bullet broke 3 ribs and went through the lungs and stomach.

Hey donger..Welcome to the site bud.The pic didn`t show.Try it as an attachment and I will get it hosted for you.:thumbs:I have a Model 10 Tactical and I load the same bullet  for it at times,except I use Varget.I shoot the Nosler 150 gr Ballistic Tip in mine most often  but the 165 Gr Hornady SST shoots pretty derned accurate as well in mine.
