Hog Hunting-SP, HP,FMJ ?
I'll be hog hunting for the 1st time in a couple of weeks on my sister's ranch in Texas. I'm thinking of using my Yugo SKS or my Mosin-Nagant. My question is-what kind of bullets should I use ? Since penetration seems to be the big thing, I'm guessing some US made FMJ is the way to go. So before you tell me to start with a new rifle, what kind of projectile would you suggest ? Thanks.

we use anywhere from 45g to 180+g anythings.

It's a pig, not an elephant.. Like half baked said, use what you have. Don't make a speical trip to the gun store to buy more bullets.

This is a topic that might bring some different opinions into play. I recommend soft points. Hogs aren't armor plated. Either of the rifles you mention will do fine with SP ammo, and the odds of killing them quickly increase with the use of soft points.

With a head shot it won't matter what your shooting even if you are shooting an ice bullet if you put it in the thinker. :fighting0007:

For a minute
I thought these hogs were wearing top military protective vests.

However, if you miss, even by a little bit, you have a hog that will very likely run off and die someplace else. |

Yep, true.
