JB-

Although you couldn't be here, some of your bullets did come along. The photo below is of one you sold me a couple of years ago, which performed very well in bang-flopping a piggy. The hog was facing toward the blind about 100 yardsaway, with his head lowered as he snarfled up the corn bait. The bullet entered just above his head, and a skinner recovered it in a ham.

The bullet is the discontinued 45 cal Nosler HG 260-gr Partition, loaded to about 2500 fps mv in the 450B cartridge for use in the new RAR bolt rifle. I was concerned whether the bullet, designed for magnum handgun velocities, might not stand up to the extra 500-700 fps above its presumed design max. It's performance indicates that Nosler might consider bringing it back for 45-cal rifles.
