I hear ya. 200g CoreLokts @ 2200 fps will produce perfect mushrooms; i.e. the perfect velocity for that bullet.

I like the tougher Speer for the hogs. Friend took a 300 lbs hog in Feb, and there's a 400 lbs specimen running around up there with a hole from a .243 that didn't kill him. Those gristle shields soak up energy. But my preferred hog load is a .44 265g WFN hardcast at 1825 fps from my 1894...1.5" wound channel thru-n-thru, no matter the size.
