[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 546363, member: 30902"] You also have some really good pig hunting there as well and for them you really want a bullet with a heavier construction than the NBT's. Even pushing 140gr BT's at over 3000fps (7mm mag) at 400yds on big hogs sometimes they barely got into the body cavity before blowing up and I had a few run a very long way with a perfect shot to the heart/lung area as a result. I had several of them at longer range on deer that penetrated one shoulder, through the cavity and buried up in the opposite shoulder. If they fall flat dead that's ok, but if they run, and many will, they don't bleed much and can really be difficult to track. [/QUOTE]
