I want to shoot 350 grainers. Been using the 350 Speer Hotcores. They seem a little tough for the pigs I am shooting. Had the last 4 or 5 with center mass shoulder hits run. Does any body make a moderate priced soft ( opens on thin skin pigs) bullet. I like the 250 grain 375 Sierra Game Kings but Sierra does not make a 416. Hornady stopped making the Interlock in 416. Anybody with experince to share? | ||

i've had the opposite experience with these.. WAY too frangible -- in fact, i turned a trash panda corn thief inside out, once, with this bullet ... drop down 200 fps or go with 400gr "whatevers" -- the old style hornadys are SOFT, but do amazing things on hogs.. opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I shot a few pigs and deer with 416 350gr mag tips they should be a bit tougher then the hot cores. Dead pigs unless you are breaking bones animals tend to run a bit. You didn't say how far they ran. If you only break one shoulder a critter can run on three legs with out to much trouble. Only a CNS hit well you drop them on the spot brain them cut the spinel cord. A animal well or can run a ways. I shot pigs with up to 460WBY even those that didn't break major bones or did a CNS hit ran a ways. Move your aiming point a little to make sure you are hitting bone. | |||

Hawk bullets in either 300 or 350 grain. You can get them with a .025 thick jacket. | |||

I have a bunch of original Barnes 300gr with .49 jackets they should work good. Brought them cheap for blasting maybe I'll have to shoot something alive with them | |||
