About 20 years ago a mate shot a pig with the 140 Ballistic Tip from a 20 inch barreled 7mm-08 and blew a hole in it almost the size of a dinner plate. I used the same bullet in my .280 on a fox and literally blew it in half. They must have been very soft back then but I haven't used one since. I have been using the 150gn 7mm which is as tough as, as I haven't stopped one yet in an animal. I'd assume the 140gn has been hardened up in the past 20 years. I generally like Ballistic Tips as they are one of my go to bullets. I have a heap of the 7mm 140s on my shelf so will have to load them up and go 'test. them.
