I'm going to work up a 7-08 load for a new hunter. Intended game is SE whitetail and possibly hogs. Max shot distance of 250 yds, 95% of shots will be within 150 yds. I'm thinking of something at the low end of the powder charge for reduced recoil. What bullet would you guys choose? The 101...

Soooo..... I got out my borescope to look down my 308, and I figured, "What the heck, let me look down my brand new 30-06 tube." I kinda wish I wouldn't had after seeing what was in there..... This is a 30-06 x-caliber 5R 1-8" twist barrel. It has 7 (yes, seven) 154 HHTs down the tube. I...
