One of my duties after deer season is over is to sneak around at night in a high dollar Home Owners Association near Richland Chambers lake and take out feral hogs that are destroying lawns and right of ways. What I am looking for in a bullet is adequate penetration, massive destruction and with little or nothing making an exit. I have rifles in 224 to .358 diameter cartridges with my preference being in the .243 to 270 range. Noise can be a factor also so I like to keep velocity down around 2700 fps. Any suggestions? I got some Lehigh Dense .257 85 gr. HP's to try but in testing this bullet turned out to be a heck of a penetrator not unlike the Partition. I have used the 6MM 100 gr. Prohunter but I had more pigs running off than those that decided to lay down. Thinking maybe a varmint bullet of some kind, possibly a VMax or Sierra HP. I try to make CNS hits but night hunting doesn't always give enough time to make the perfect shot.
