[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 369013, member: 1604"] Bullet type is of MOST importance when shooting hogs with a 22-250. A "Ballistic Tip" varmint bullet will open up too fast because of the velocity at short distances. I have seen them hit that "Shield" found underneath a hogs skin and go in only about 2 inches. Try a "Partition" type bullet. It'll get in the boiler room and do some damage! Have seen some of the bigger caliber projectiles punch into a hog and go clear through without ever opening up mostly due to the slow speed and hardiness of the bullets offered. P.O. Ackley did extensive research shooting hogs and goats to find the velocity and bullet size optimum for medium sized game. He found the faster, lighter bullets did more internal damage in general. A controlled expansion bullet is needed for hogs. [/QUOTE]
