[QUOTE="JohnnieB, post: 1682727, member: 41502"] I would say stick with what you have, and move up in caliber later on. I'm in CA and have been shooting Barnes exclusively and only once had a bullet not open up and "pencil through" and I cannot explain why. Now that bullet "penciled through" both lungs and the hog ran for a while and dropped dead. I would suspect shot placement is was off on the deer you referenced. A guide friend here shoots the 85gr .243 on hogs regularly, and its a very capable bullet. [/QUOTE]
