[QUOTE="Tony Formicola, post: 2594607, member: 103851"] Ballistic tips would not even make my list. I would use the 168 grain Barnes TTSX that I already have a load for in my .308. Other than that my thought process is a heavy well constructed bullet with maximum weight retention. Of course smaller hogs are greatly over rated and just about anything will work. If you shoot the 180 NBT well it should work fine. If you were talking a 150 gr NBT I would be trying to talk you out of it as in my experience that particular bullet just comes apart on close shots when launched around 3000fps.. I had the 150s fail on a whitetail shoulder hit. Luckily I was able get another shot into him. The first one did not penetrate the shoulder at 30 yards. [/QUOTE]
