I had the 220 Speer bullet fail to give satisfactory penetration on several feral hogs. The 250 gr. Speer at 2500 fps is and has been my go to load for many years in the Whelen, second best is the 250 gr. Hornady spire point. I also think highly of the 250 gr. Hornady but it is hard to find this one.
hornady 250 is being sold at a steep discount in the Wisconsin MAN MALL. Mills Fleet Farm
They have an online presence but it seems like the price may only be good in stores that have existing stock
