I've killed a lot of hogs with .223's... But for multiple targets usually running after the first shot, I have a .308 AR10.

I personally don't hunt with FMJ's on any animal.
Granted I've been lucky but if I hit on running shots the 40 vmax has yet to loose a pig. Hits a bit far back IE guts, it tends to dump em quickly anyway.

No flies on the 308 but there is recoil.

Have you tried the 40g nbt? They have a thick copper base that usually penetrates a bit even when the front of the bullet explodes. I find the penetrate better than the 40g vmax but my testing was done with a 26" 12 twist 22-250 shooting them at 4200.

I've had a 40g vmax create large shallow entrance wounds. The 40g not does it too but a little bit always seems to make it deeper. I'm assuming it's that thick copper base.
