[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2413639, member: 30902"] Personally I don't like what are essentially frangible bullets. On numerous occasions I've seen them blow up at the surface or just below and watched animals run off horribly wounded as a result. I shoot hundreds of hogs most years and the earhole shot is not an option often because of range, conditions, foliage etc. They are incredibly hardy aminals and I've had them run a quarter mile or more with everything in their chest turned to chunky jello. That's what got me to shooting first Bonded Bullets, namely the Hornady Interbond and Nosler Accubond. Once I did those behind the shoulder shots started resulting in instant kills and if they didn't, having large volumes of blood pouring out of both sides made them very easy to track. Having now some pretty extensive experience on African Game, long talks with PH's etc I've found the same to hold true. Often they encourage you to shoot non expanding solids because they want as much penetration as possible and a good blood trail because so much of their game is really tough and will often "run dead" or charge even when fatally wounded.
