[QUOTE="Monteria, post: 2091698, member: 115565"] I prefer 35s for my pig hunting. As you, I've found the bigger bullet to have more authority than skinnier bullets at higher velocity, at least within reasonable range. It's also a big benefit to have two holes in case it's not a DRT. Bigger pigs dont like to bleed out little holes. I just pick one dependent on the range and type of hunting I'm doing. 357 max with 180gr XTPs over N120 (really a kids gun and I dont shoot it much) 357 Herrett with 200gr FTX over H322 35rem with 220 speer fp and 200 ABs over AR Comp A home grown 35 wildcat with 200 ttsx over IMR3031 that matches whelen velocities. These are all strong single shot actions, not levers, so I am able to load the SAAMI rounds above pressure. The bullet selections are well balanced with the velocities each attains and perform quite well. Unless shooting long range, I almost always select a 35. Steve [/QUOTE]
