Haha. Varmint soup would be right. :thumbsup: Apparently the 125gr TNTs are extremely violent and probably even too violent to use on medium game as they may not penetrate enough. I've heard you have to be careful with hot loads as they have a very thin jacket and can seperate in flight. :wtf:

Any .308 on a pest is going to be "extremely violent" ;)

You're right about thin jacket bullets, with excess velocity they can have problems coming apart or distorting in flight. Either way making the accuracy useless.
