I like the original bullet made for the Old Army my mold throwa 220 grain bullets and it is a blunt nose high jmpact bullet, hogs are tuff and it does a good job on them.

I noticed that the RN conicals didn't plow straight through often, but veered off to one side in his water jug penetration tests.
I've often heard that the FN design is superior for bullets not really designed for much expansion.
And the weight certainly helps.
I'm not concerned with hogzilla, but 300+ lbs isn't unusual.

They may not be better, but they make me feel better.

I was given some 190 grn conicals and they shot quite well. Groups weren't much different than with RB.
