If I can line up with a boar next month when I get away to go boar hunting for a couple days we will find out how well they work for hunting. While they appear to like a bit less powder than the SW ; I think I like the design a bit better, with the fold in nose and the thinner shoulder they will probably bulge in the middle and get deep penetration with out coming apart. I like the price to. This summer will tell but so far they look good. Lee
