Answer, you do not need 400 grain bullets for hogs.Using my cheap old CVA Staghorn;i have killeddozens of hogs with 100 grains of Pyrodex RS/or two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets and the 240 grain XTP bullet. When hit right they die in their tracks. Killed a few dozen hogs with my Encore loaded with the 250 grain SST and 90-120 grains of JSG. Last week i killed threedecent sized hogs with three shots from the CVA.
