Moving to a small town about an hour west of Fort Worth and am looking for some advice on bullets.
I've got a custom 7mm mag that pushes the Barnes TTSX 120gr around 3500'. Will this load work for hogs?

Yes. Might work better if you could speed it up a tad....

I think that's a pretty safe bet. More powder never hurts. Until it does. Dave

Yes. Just about anything from .223 and up will work just fine on TX feral hogs. Average hog size in TX is usually around 200 lbs.
I've probably killed several truck loads with my .556 and .243. Also a bunch with my 7x57 Win. Featherweight with a 140 gr Partition and my .264 Win Mag using 120 gr Ballistic Tips or 125 gr Partitions.
Another words, whichever one of my rifles are riding in my truck while I'm working at the Ranch.
And a hour west of Ft Worth is decent hog country. They get heavy hunting pressure from all the DFW area hunters, so they become pretty nocturnal this time of year. Night hunting is usually very productive, though.

Groups just get tighter as it gets sped up =) The Grand Poobah is being sarcastic about the velocity. He's got a very dry sense of humor that you will come to appreciate after you've been here a while.
