[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 1895647, member: 113268"] I have had a couple of bad experiences using 180gr sierra gamekings out of a 300wm at 2900 fps where the bullet blew up on impact. Some bullets do have a maximum velocity on impact. Apparently, I exceeded it with the gamekings. One hog I found and the other I did not. The one I found had a huge entrance wound. It was an 80lb sow. The one I lost was about a 150lb boar which I hit with an angling shot to the front of the shoulder. The hog went down then the hog got up and ran away. I actually found a bone fragment from the shoulder while I was tracking him. I have hunted with nosler partitions ever since. [/QUOTE]
