Opinions of 25 cal 100 Nosler BT's on larg Cal pigs

Using a .25-06 or .257Wby. and at distances under 100yds., I'd place the BT behind the gristle plate angling forward to take out both lungs.

I'd pass on almost any other shot presentation.

I'd switch to the Partition if your gun shoots it well.

Thanks George.. It's a "257 Bob" But stacks 100 Gr BT almost on top of each other..

I would have to agree on the partition, if you do happen to hit one a little forward the amour plate should not affect the partition like the ballistic tip

FWIW,

Don't know about large Cal pigs.

My first choice would be the Nosler Accubond, but the 100 gr. ballistic tip works fine on medium Texas hill country porkers.

I've used anything from a 250 Savage to the 257 Weatherby in 25 Cal.

Bullet placement is the key as far as I'm concerned. Correct bullet placement and you're good to go.



I try to place the bullet about two inches below the ear, on a line between the ear and shoulder. Severs the spine. They just drop and paddle. No tracking.

Here are three pix of an eating size Texas hill country "hoglet" that was shot with a 250 Savage and 100 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip, MV approx. 2800 FPS (don't do as much meat damage at that velocity). He was shot at +/- 120 yds. IIRC, pretty steep downward angle.



Entry just in front of the right shoulder, just below the quarter in the picture.




Not the clearest picture, but complete severing of the spine by the 100 gr. Ballistic tip



Exit through the left side ribcage.

And of course,


headshots work as well (53 gr. barnes TSX, 222Rem.)

Best

Does the J O B on spines just as I expected.
Nice shootin and thanks for sharing the pics.
