    Ok i will be the one with an intelligent backside for a change. Use 308win ammo. Really almost any good bullet from 125 grain up will put all but the hogzilla type hogs down with one good shot just don't use FMJ ammo as you do need the expansion cause you don't want to go looking for a mad piggy. And nothing that is classified as a varmite bullet.

    I've heard great things about the Barnes TSX bullets, but I usually just shoot what I shoot at deer which is Hornady Interlock BTSP. Like earl said, any good hunting bullet will get it done if you put it in the right place. Stay away from the varmint and target bullets. The Hornady "American Whitetail" factory ammo is fairly cheap and loaded with the interlocks if you want to go the factory ammo route.

    And the SST's will drop them.

    Know shot placement no matter what you use.

    I've used 130gr TTSX and TSX out of my Blackout and 168gr Berger VLD Hunters out of my .308. Hornady SST's will also work.

    Op, Wolf does not make military classic in 308, sorry,
    but any SP/FMJ herter or wolf will work on hogs, around $50 cents a round and forget about picking up the brass
