| At that velocity, it should do just fine.

| Put the bullet in the right place, and it'll do the job. Even if you lose the petals, which you probably won't at the impact velocity you'll get, the shank will keep on going and going. Underpenetration is far more a problem with hogs than overpenetration.

| I hunt with a friend that uses the 120 TSX in a 7mm08. Uses 45 grains of Varget for about 3100 fps from memory. Have seen him shoot several deer lately with it. Most were lucky to take a step. |

| are you sure you don't want somethng a little heavier for those hogs? i have never hunted them, but i have heard they (unlike deer) actually have some sort of armor plate.
i'm not criticizing, i'm asking because i honestly don't know. |
