[quote]I just set up a Boar hunt for May; how fast do you think I can push them [I am considering the 50/40 200gr and the 50'45 250gr] /quote]

There are really so many things that can affect a bullet "blowing up"... This effect is greatly enhanced by velocity, which on the other hand enhances energy & trajectory sooo.

As i think about your question my - I have a couple of concerns and/or thoughts... For me right now today the 10mm 200 grain bullet is still an un-proven bullet - it really looks good on paper and really looks good at distances beyond 150 yards... The 45-250 Bonded(cayugad's suggestion) would be be my choice of the two bullets you suggested. And if the choice of bullet were left up to me totally - I would step into a Nosler partition, to insure penetration and a bullet that would be very difficult to blow up under any conditions. The next problem for me is we do not have hogs - so I have not hunted them. I have been told they can be nightmares to get down and dead. If that is correct I really think I would go with a 300 grain Nosler Partition Protected Point for distances under 150. This is the same bullet I usefor Elk hunting.

Hope I did not cloud the qestion but I just do not have the expertise for hunting hogs...

Have a great hunt - wish we had hogs - darn it...
