[QUOTE="eaglesnester, post: 629220, member: 9431"] I live in Canada and have not had the opportunity to kill hogs. I do however own a Weatherby SVE in 22/250. I load it with 52grain Burgers and I have cratered a railroad steel plate used to anchor railroad rails to the ties. The craters were 3/8ths of an inch deep and about 1/2 inch across at 200 meters. I do not believe that a hogs hide is tougher than steel. You should be good to go with that 22/250 remember them hogs can be tough as nails and shot placement is everything. I have also loaded with 70gr Speer and get 1 inch groups at 100. Now the barrel on my weatherby is 1-14 twist and it is not recommended to load much over 55grains as the twist is too slow. But my rifle seems to do ok with that bullet. For hogs I would go as heavy a round as I could shoot well. [/QUOTE]
