Thanks to both WildRose and Bullet Bumper for discussion of Expanding Bullets v. Solid Penetrators.
Are there any other calibers from the US Peregrine Company available?
Hope is for a .50 or even (dreaming of) a .58 caliber. Me and quite a few others use Black Powder ML arms. If the bullet performs well at 1200 fps, it may have a role in hot BP loads.
The most favored shot placement and target on a hog is the "Boiler Room" protected by a thick armor like surrounding plate. The favored sportsman-like shot is through the plate into the critical organs behind it. For this shot, I agree with Bullet Bumper and appreciate his examples. Big Boars, and frequently mid-sized ones, can surprise the hunter with their remarkable ability to absorb even well-placed lead, copper, and other metals and still fight and potentially kill. My loss of a small number of prized dogs to killer dying hogs still breaks my heart.
I have chanced on a few HPs, that through deign and quality execution in production retain punch power. This new bullet, maybe has, reached that performance level - we'll see. Butch523
