Shot some big pigs this trip with the 308, running both subsonic and supersonics. Spent night 1 over a sheep feeder full of wheat, the pigs had been regularly coming in and pushing the sheep away. Made for a great night with 20 pigs shot. Mainly used subsonic around the feeder to keep the noise to a minimum and not scare away other pigs in the area. Unfortunately the wind came up on night 2, with gusts over 60kph, difficult to shoot in but made it easy to sneak in on the mobs out in the stubble paddocks. Best pig weighed in at 105kg with several others around 80kg. Other than scoping myself and giving the boys a good laugh it was a fantastic couple of nights with plenty of pigs down, lot's of fun and some good shooting too. Even got to play with some Gen 2, white phosphorus helmet mounted night vision, very cool gear....
