Re: Nosler ballistic tips and hogs???
Ford..

You'll have no trouble with that setup. I use an AR15 with 65grn BT's in a 30 round mag. Out at the lease this past year I've dropped ~20 hogs. From 50lbs piggies to a 350lb boar. It's all in the shot placement.

Good luck. You're going to have a blast!

Shoot Stright.

NFBBM; what are you trying to do, get him killed???? You know that feral...er..WILD hogs are a man-eating, fire-breathing dragon of a creature that defies all laws of nature. You MUST have at least a 375 H&H loaded with Woodleigh solids or better to cleanly take one of those beast, they are the Cape Buffalo of North
America.
Forget those stories of people taking them with a stick and string, they sprinkled magic dust on their arrows. Forget those who have used less than Elk caliber guns to take hogs, they had their rounds blessed by a Talisman. those things are DEADLY !!!!
My advice is to look on EBAY for some claymore antipersonel mines, that should do in any little piggy that trots across it.

Good luck and good shooting,
Eterry
P.S. the B/T should do fine, just do your part.

Hey Kyler! Where do you buy those bullets from frozen cheddar cheese? I've never seen them. I did load some limburger cheese hollowpoints for the next time I hunt with you. I'm getting 59,032 fps with 9364 grains of RL-15 out of them. Think they will kill one of your little piggies? Jeff
