[QUOTE="Dr. Mac, post: 1666664, member: 104530"] They are tough and mean as hell. Guys talk about killing big boars with .223’s and head shots but my life isn’t that boring to risk it in that manner. Anything from 6.5 on up is fine as long as you use a quality partition type bullet like a heavy Swift A-Frame (my personal preference) or Nosler Partition. Monolithic open nose like Barnes will kill them, but over penetration without adequate expansion can be a problem. I don’t trust bonded soft points like Accubonds anymore; I’ve seen them come apart on the shoulder of a buck at 30 yards out of a 6.5x55. If I can get close enough for handgun, it’s going to be .41-.45 bore hard cast lead with wide meplat. They work too. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
