[QUOTE="Coy Franks, post: 1061736, member: 11220"] Steel Slinger said; " I think that the heavier weight bullets traveling at high velocities don’t expand as much and pass right through, therefore they do not transfer the energy to the animal as well." This has been my experience also. For my kind of shooting I want the bullet to stay in the hog. I want him to absorb all the energy that it has. I also don't care if there is a blood trail I don't eat the nasty suckers anyway. When I switched to a 308 Nosler 125gr BT running a 3000 fps I had very few that ran off. The down side of this combination is that at close yardage the bullet will "splash". Even with this it always had enough shrapnel to kill the animal. This combination has been my most successful so far. [/QUOTE]
