    I would suggest the heaviest Hornady XTP that you can get.
    It has been my expierance that the added velocity of the rifles longer bbl will add to the destructiveness of the XTP,and the bullets makeup will hold it together long enough for deep penetration.
    While the 180's are a good bullet,if YOU KNOW that you can put it square on the shoulder,the XTP is the best if put anywhere on the hog. --- SAWMAN

    I went with the 180 xtp and did some testing with it and it drove through and 18” piece of 6x6 post and came out the back with a 1 1/2” hole I am now confident that it will do the job. I was shooting at approximately 40 yards so I feel if I keep my shots within that range it will have no problem of killing efficiently thanks for the recommendation
