Shot a hog of about 150lbs at 80yds using the 165gr 308 SGK. It was in pretty dense woods and shot selection was limited so took what it gave me and hit it in the back upper 1/3 of its body and was surprised when it dropped in its tracks until I saw the exit wound. It was the size of both my fists! Internal damage was devastating too. Won't post the graphic pic here but it instantly became my favorite hog round. Shot a nice buck with same round at 100yds but exit wound only about size of silver dollar. Ran about 30 yds and dropped. I do have some NBT to try out next for comparison but was very happy with the SGK's performance at those ranges. Curious to see both at further distances for comparison.

Sounds like you hit solid bone to get that kind of exspansion...BT woulda done the same I'd expect, but a AB might have held up a tad better.
