I'm just telling you where they are made, not where they are sold. Look at the black tipped 168 CBB and compare it to a Maker TRex

If I were still shooting a 45/70 that 350gr Rex is a bullet I think I'd have to try.
Peregrine makes something similar specifically for hogs.
Peregrine "Hog" Bullet
Well as hogs become the scourge of ranchers and farmers all over a broad swath of the US Peregrine has finished their "HOG" bullet which is a project that's been in development for several years now. This is yet another of their monolithic red copper expanding bullets with something of a twist...
Many if not most manufactuers use an idealiezed example of what their bullets look like expanded. I used some of these and the photos are pretty darned accurate.
They literally opened up like a clover with sharp edges and points.
When looking at those shots of their expanded bullets remember how fast they will be spinning when going through the target and just how much damage they can then potentially do as a result.
It's the equivalent of using a high velocity blender with sharp edges and points on their innards.
My hunting buddy inherited a .45-70 rifle; I will pass on the information. Thanks.If I were still shooting a 45/70 that 350gr Rex is a bullet I think I'd have to try.

Is it ok if I start hating you now or do I have to wait a few minutes?
Man those look good!
I gained weight just looking at the pictures!
I provided the link in #241 where they are made from, not sold. CBB is made here in my home state of Montana, not Georgia. Maker TRex bullets are made in Georgia.
There is also a separate thread on Maker bullets >>> https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/budget-friendly-mono-bullets-ammo-from-georgia.290473/
Cheers!

& no heavy .308…
Have you looked at the Maker bullets he may have something more suited to your needs I bought a few to try so far I have only used the 210gr 338 in a 338-06 load development was easy and performance on pigs was very good
