I tried the 55 gr HP Bergers out on a hog. About 50 yards but it broke the front shoulder, front side of the ribs and broke but didn't exit the other side of the rib cage. She went straight down.

Look around for some 64 grain WW power points. They'll usually shoot in a 1-14" twist and are more heavily constructed. They'd be my first choice.

Next up would be the 63 grain Sierra semi-spitzers.

If you had a 1-12 twist, I'd say Nosler Partition. I haven't gotten them to stabilize in a 1-14" twist yet.

I modified Tom's quote to fit my own findings. 63g Sierra is a hands down winner, proven for many, many years, atop a max load of IMR 4350 with win primers!

I would not waste powder with the 60g Nosler partition in a 14 twist, but I did have one rifle that would shoot them to 1 1/2" groups.

Many people are finding the 64g Winchester to be a very good performer on Hogs...which is a good test of a bullet.


64 grain powerpoint is a dandy slug. I think I'm up to 5 bears now with the 22 250 and the 64 pp. One deer with the 223 and 64 pp. All pass throughs. Ranges from 30 yards to 150 yards.
