How did you do on the hog hunt ?? If you have been please post some pics.
What gun,load,distance,performance including where hit and exit ??
You get more vel out of the longer bbl's with the "pistol rounds". I have done some pretty wild things reloading for a 16" 44Mag and a 16" 454Casull. For the closer range stuff they are supurb on deer and hogs. Black bear also with the Casull. --- SAWMAN

The bullet performed flawlessly as expected, the weighed in at 223 lbs. I also shot a 180 lb hog with my 6.5 Grendel with 123 SST, kind of a bad shot...Texas heart shot but the pig only made it about ten yards and piled up. The last pig was a small one under 50lbs and again I was using the 357 rifle entrance was just behind right lung pig was quartering away and exit was the front of off shoulder and that was a massive exit wound about the size of a baseball the shot was about 45 yds
