Default RE: .30 Cal 165 gr Sierra Gamekings

I've taken about a half dozen hogs using a .270 and the gamekings. All but 1 of them stopped dead in their tracks and the lone "getaway" only went 10yds.
And these were on shoulder shots on boar..............so the bullet had to be tough to get the job done.
I recovered 2 bullets I think in that time - the cores did separate from the jackets before passing thru........but the jackets expanded to 3/4".

I'd trust gamekings before I would the Nosler ballistic tips - I've had the ballistic tips explode on contact with hogs of similiar size.
