RE: ballistic tip bullets
What Dixie Hog said.They are hogs, not rhinos. I've shot hogs with .22 rimfirethrough .30-06.Theydie quickly when hit right: If not hit right youwill likely never see them again.Sawa big boar run off and not be recoveredafter a guy with a .300magnum shot it twice with someones 180 grain "premium" bullet.
The vast majority ofmy hogsare killed with a cheap old CVA .50 muzzleloader and .44 cal. 240 grain Hornady XTP bullets.Had one hog go over 60 yards. That hog wasgutshot at a distance of 120 yards withmy muzzleloader.Found it standing on top the hill one quarter mile away. It got down the backside of the hill about 75 yards before I was able to get a shot and kill it. No bulletwill turn a gut shot into a bang flop every time.
