I believe that the 130's are entirely appropriate for the 308Win in certain hunting conditions,hunting certain game. Allow me to interject that the above gun I was talking about is a Ruger M77 MKII Compact. My app......hunting the smaller NW Fla deer and the mid sized hogs.
Compare the 130gr 308Win to some of the other chamberings that seem to be entirely appropriate for this game. The 120gr 7-08 or 7mm Mauser, the 100gr 243,the 120gr 6.8SPC,the 87-100gr bullets in the 25-06,etc,etc. I have even switched to the 120gr in my 7MM Rem Mag.
Not intentionally trying to create a s*it storm I will say that with the speciality bullets that have come along ....... you can "go small". These bullets are the "H" Type,Partition,solid copper,and the solid copper with polycarbonate tip. TO ME......the >150gr bullets in .308" are more appropriate for the bigger deer(275+lbs on the hoof),black bear,elk,caribou,sheep,and like game. Especially at the longer distances >300yds. These animals are typically taken at longer distances(bullet velocity?)than hogs.
I would think that most any game animal in north America can be killed quickly,cleanly,and humanly with a .308" 130gr solid copper or partition that starts out at 2850. Would a 150gr be mo-bedda ?? Possibly. With the lighter bullets I also am liking the trajectories. --- pruhdlr
