One pig around 200 lbs at 70 yards from a 35 Whelen at 2680 fps. The shot was from an elevated stand and the hit was just behind the head between the shoulders at a bit of a quartering angle. It dropped right there, the bullet exited behind the ribs. If you section one of the bullets, you will see a fairly heavy jacket, especially compared to the more conventional Speer's and Hornady's.

Mike,
I had one blow up on a deer last year that I shot on the shoulder. He was a 3 hopper before keeling over stone dead. Likewise a .35WH. I've been fooling around with them trying to decide if I'll use them on Leopard this summer.
