[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2673149, member: 109917"] I generally use good bonded cup and core style bullets when it comes to pigs, I have no desire to eat another one. I killed so many in the late 90s and early 2000s that I cannot stand them. I hate them and the destruction they do in and around both farms. I usually buy whatever soft point, Interlock or partition style bullet is cheapest and use those if it's 5-6 pigs or less, if it's a sounder, custom Mossberg 930 with a Steve Rose modified barrel and 9 or 15 pellet 00 buck and empty the tube on them. Heavily constructed bullets and velocity work, but good old well constructed soft point bullets that move at moderate speeds work too. Back when I was in recovery/eating mode, I've chased more pigs shot with a >.350" diameter bullet than I ever have with a <.308" bullet. I have also shot enough big ones enough times that I wondered how they were still able to move, some pigs desire to live outweighs your desire to kill them. This was a cheap Winchester 6.5 Creedmoor power point at about 125yds, blew thru both shoulders and he was still twitching, so I put a second one thru the chin, you can see the entrance, no exit. 24" ARP 3 groove barrel for size reference [ATTACH type="full"]413721[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
