[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1277343, member: 30902"] Geo see if Barnes is making something in their Vor-TX line or go with the Hornady hog loads and you should be off to the races. I'd try to stay in the 160-175gr range. Not sure if Nosler has a factory load with the partition but if they do it might be a good way to go. Hornady is starting to put out some factory ammo again that's loaded with the Interbond and that's a great hog bullet as well so I'd look for it as well. Somewhere I picked up five boxes of Hornady .308 loaded with the 165gr Interbond to run through my M1A that I was setting up just for hog hunting and they did a great job. I think I'm down to about ten rounds left so I'm going to have to do some shopping and or some loading for it. When you get some brass saved up we'll talk seriously about the bullet to load. I was stunned at how well the Peregrine performed last night shooting through both shoulders and the spine on a 350 pounder at 40 yards with an impact speed of around 3,200fps. I really expected massive overexpansion if not complete breakup and it just did the opposite. Caliber sized entry, two finger damage through the muscle and 1 finger exit through the shield/skin. He wasn't the biggest hog I've killed but he was old and his shield was a good 1.5" thick and he was the fattest hog I've probably ever killed. He'd been eating way too well. gun) [/QUOTE]
