I did the same on the Hornady's with my Marlin 45-70 that I sold to Roger. I had the same thoughts for the BA slugs. Do they advise hardness?
They are said to be 20:1 alloy, so I expect fairly soft.

Ohhhh...this is gonna be a fun one this year!
Some years ago a chap was selling an azzload of original blue box .416 400 gr Barnes soft points dirt cheap. I offered to buy a couple of hundred and he sent me all he had, 500 at least. Maybe the 416 Rem M70 throwing the Barnes at handgun speeds would be the ticket.

Theres gonna be lots of weird things being shot at the pigs this year! I'm bringing the new .222 and some Barnes...pretty pedestrian compared to a .416 'lite'

Think I'll forego bringing three AR's with me this year
One should be plenty.
