Default Suburb hog hunting

I have been hunting an area of 1200 acres surrounded by roads and houses. It has a big hill in the middle of it and I set my stands and feeders up so that my shooting will be toward the hill. My rifles are usually a 223 or a 308. Bullet choices lately have been the 60 grain HP from Hornady in the 223 and the 150 grain SST in the 308, both pushed to top velocities with BLC-2. I do head and neck shots with the 223 with high shoulder shots added to the 308 shot selection. The SST generally exits on hogs under 200 pounds but since I am shooting from 20 feet up I can find them in the dirt if I look for them. Usually over expanded on not very deep. But I am thinking of switching to Speer's 130 grain HP, anyone use this bullet on hogs? A long shot is 40 yards.
