They wuld be a great hog bullet, but I just can not imagine what one of them 500 grain bullets would do - probably turn the thing inside out...

If you look at the tip of the 300 Protected Point that little piece of lead you see is a upside down coned shape piece of lead maybe a little longer than an 1/8 inch - then you hit the partition - that little piece of lead upon contact flattens and causes the copper wings to expand and begin doing their thing while the bulk of the bullet behind the partition continues to drive the bullet through what ever it contacts. It does it job on thick skins and big bones but thin skin without hitting a major bone is just a hot ice pick through butter... it is a 3/4 to 7/8" hole and the animal is dead it just takes awhile for it to figure it out.
