Default RE: XLC bullets

I want to try the Triple Shock/22 Hornet combination on hogs.

The Barnes manualdoes not haveloads for the 53 grain triple shocks, but Hodgdon literature shows 2,509 fps for the 53 grain XFBwith 12.0 grains Lil'Gun, and only 39,000 CUP pressure (SAAMI max for the Hornet is 43,000 CPU).I figure to get at least that velocity with the triple shocks if my 1 in 14" twist will stabalize them. They should do a number on hogs, and even deer with precise shot placement.

Triple Shocks are expensive, but I do love them for a hunting bullet.
