[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 268028, member: 8037"] What size pig are you stalking? The critical velocity is that at impact with the chosen bullet, and how it reacts to the game at that velocity will determine your level of success. Pigs can be rather belligerent, especially if you're waiting around for one to bleed out. If you shoot a large pig with a cup & core bullet at 3100 fps, it may disintegrate on impact rather than penetrate. If you're serious about that velocity, you'll need a stout bullet. For a big critter, I'd want something heavy enough to break him down. . [/QUOTE]
