A 130 gr. Hornady at 3,000+ fps will blow thru a WT chest, leaving lots of destruction, good exit and entrance wounds, mostly DRT.

For Southern WT's, you don't really need heavier bullets, IMO.

For something different, check out Cutting Edge bullets..They're monos but act somewhat like a Partition, 6 petals flying 360*, the base puching on thru.

Here's the effect on a chest shot hog. See how the spine got messed up while not in the line of flight. 80# hog DRT. Chest shot hogs often run. I chest this one on purpose just to see how that bullet would work.

Some say CEB Raptors aren't good in thick areas, will come apart when hitting a twig, etc. Used in open areas they seem to work pretty well.
