[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2821054, member: 122164"] One trick we did with Sierra 52/53g 22 cal match kings and the Sierra 70g, 6mm match kings was to trim off some of the tip on the HP, making the bullet shorter with larger Hp, did not take much. We used a Wilson case trimmer with the case holder. You can control the length to the .001 with this case trimmer, so we loaded the rounds, then trimmed off various lengths. We had one length that we called, "Whistlers" as they would whistle on the way to the varmint. We got this idea from Calhoun Double Hollow Points. Ground squirrels would not blow up, they just disappeared at the shot, and I am talking just GONE! We would walk out to an area where we had been shooting, and find pieces of a hide, with a foot attached, etc. My gunsmith hunting partner just could not quit laughing when he was shooting these in my 6 BR! Jack Rabbits were in their up cycle where they were destroying alfalfa farmers crops, and we shot them by the thousands. A rabbit was scattered over 15 yards! I actually shot a bob cat hin half out of a 243. Trimming the bullet length in a loaded round with the Wilson case trimmer produces very uniform results. This would make for some very interesting results on hogs shot with trimmed Match Kings out of various calibers. [/QUOTE]
