Great work, keep us posted on future activity with those rounds.
I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.

Good job. 6.8 is an excellent cartridge for hogs.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

Ought to be able to push 105 pretty good in a 6.8. Sounds like a great compromise between the 90s and the 115-120 class.

Nice! My new favorite is the 6.8. Can’t wait to get a Rattler 35 on it!

sweet, I have been a devout 6.8 guy for over 10 years.. ran just about every bullet out there, my favorite was the Barnes 95g TTSX, I was involved in testing for Barnes with them. Loaded hot they were super effective. I got tired of chasing brass and loading and switched to the Hornady 120 SST factory load when it first came out and that is all I have used since. Wouldn't mind trying these though!

Same on the 120g SSTs. I get the best groups with this factory load, at least with my current barrel and setup. I might give those MKZs a try though. The more sampling data the better. Plus, it gives me a reason to go shoot.
