The case is roughly the same as a 30-06 and you can get around 2,400fps out of a 250gn bullet or go up to 300gn. My only decision now is which rifle. By the way it's a bloody good pig cartridge too, and will reach out to 200m or a bit more if you want.

Would many have the twist fast enough to shoot it well?
I thought 160-180gr was usual .308 territory?

But then they did used to hunt elephant with them..........................
I'll stick to my .300wm.
