shooting a 223/5.56 AR with a 7 or 8 rwist bbl,my buddy has killed BIG hogs using both the 62 and 70gr Barnes TSX.
He puts'em on the shoulder at <100yds. Gets some exit wounds of both bullet and bone fragments.
To me,a great hog gun would be a 22-250Rem with a 9 or 10 twist long(er) bbl. I have a 28" 22-250 but it has a 12 twist and I am pretty much limited to the 53gr TSX-FB in the solid copper design.
Another option would be the Hornady line of GMX. They are somewhat harder than the Barnes but unsure of the exact bullet makeup and have no expierance with them. --- SAWMAN :
At this particular ranch they don’t allow 223, but I believe those would work great I think the 130 Barnes is the way I’m gonna head and try them out I have experience with the Barnes 168 TSX on deer and I was not impressed but I now know that I need the lighter bullet and I need to push it faster
