In the 260, I use a Nosler Ballistic Tip (100 gr). In the 270 I use the 130 gr BT. In the 220 I now will be using the 60 gr Partition, if I can EVER find a darn pig. I haven't been using the 223 for pigs since I dropped down to the 40 gr Ballistic Tip, but I did use the 65 gr Sierra GK on a few pigs and it worked fine.

As for placement, most of my shots seem to be in the 120 to 250 yard range, and I don't take head shots at that range. I'll just shoot em behind the shoulder, which is why I wanted the Partition for the 220. The bullet that I had been using was killing them, but not fast enough to keep em from getting in the middle of a briar patch before they died.

Been shooting Nosler P's for 40 years and I've yet to have one not perform as designed or let me down as far as accuracy. Is it better than others mentioned I can't tell ya since I've not tried them, the NP's have given me no reason to look else where. It would be kinda like cheating on your wife.

The Bigger the better, we took one down with a 708 without a problem!

I'm still trying to find something wrong with corelokt. I've seen bullet blow-ups at very close range, but they've all resulted in DRTs...

In AR plaform, the 95gr TTSX at close to 3000FPS out of a 6.8x43 works for me.
Any decent hunting bullet works pretty well out of my "antique" Winchester 100 auto.

As has been said so many times-you don't need a premium bullet for pigs! I've used plenty of corelokts and never had a bad result. All 2012 I used 110 vmax in my 6.8, which resulted in lots of dead pigs too. I've seen many a magnum 'over-penetrate' at short range....that still ended up with a pig on the ground.

.243 to .45-70 and lots of up and down the caliber range, all put where they're supposed to go=pigs with sudden onset of rigor mortis!

My absolute first choice in bullets for pigs, deer, T-Rex, or whatever is the Nosler Partition. This past year was the year of the 6.8 for me though and the Nosler Partition was not a option so I settled on the Nosler Accubond. I have used Accubonds in the past in other calibers with great success so I knew it was a good bullet. What surprised me with the Accubond in the 6.8 was the amount of penetration I was getting while still geting enough expansion for great exit wounds. I took one shot on a pair of 150 pound boars last year and the bullet went through the front shoulders of both and kept on going. Both pigs left massive blood trails as well.

I am completely sold on the Accubond in the 6.8. Its a pigs worst nightmare!!

My 3 favorite bullets for just about everything are Nosler Partition, Accubond or Swift Sirocco. Though I have tried many others I keep going back to one of those 3.

all I shoot is Accubond. Never had a problem what so ever on a hog!!!

308 and 180gr corelocks.

Dead is dead no matter the bullet

Never had a problem with Remington CoreLokts in .243, .270 or 30-06.

Never had a problem with Remington CoreLokts in .243, .270 or 30-06.

on board with centexrancher. 223, 25-06, 270 corelokts or just about any bullet with the right shot placement. I have shot 2 pigs with 1 bullet on more than 1 occasion. Pass through the first with a blast hole in the second.

I love the razorback XT's. I've shot many hogs with my .223 AR with XT's. Great round.

In my AR I load 60Gr partitions and they work great. My kids have killed LOTS of hogs with .243 federal fusions. I don't think we've ever lost one they shot with the Fusions.

1 bullet 2 dead pigs



1 bullet 4 dead pigs



Gun,Custom Rem 700, Caliber 260, Bullet 140 Bergers.

I've switched to 55 grain Barnes X w/36 gr.of TAC in my 22 250 because I got tired of trailing wounded animals..It penatrates thru most even nose to tail..and chrono's at 3810 fps in Tarpley
about 1/2 in groups..I've used about everything else and if head
shot they all work..DD

.308/.30-06 150 grain CoreLokts.
.270 130 grain CoreLokts.
7mm/08 140 grain CoreLokts.
.30-30 170 grain CoreLokts.
8x57mm JS 175 grain Sierra ProHunter or Privi BTSP.
.243 100 grain CoreLokts.

I just use whatever I happen to have at the moment. Head shot=DRT.

My 260 w/140 Bergers will take the big pig too.



And sometimes the 260 will Whack'em and Stack'em.

Purdy.

whatever is in my gun at the time lol iv shot them with .22 to 180gr out of 300wsm from federal to corelok to TTSX and it all make a good pop

Went and shot some Nosler partitions and the grouped well out of the 7mm rem mag and ill also be taking my 7 wsm 160gr trophy tip bonded .My daughter will shooting some smoking hot 55gr Sp handloads out of an AR and possibly a new ruger mark II 243.We'll be headed out Friday night and won't be back till Sunday morning on our hunting/ filling the feeders trip. Hopefully a great field test for this ammo.

I love that 260 by the way

I think a well placed bullet works almost regardless of caliber. I know until about a year ago I was guilty of feeling like I needed more fire power than I really did. Distance matters of course but out to 100 yards, I love my 300 Blackout with a 220gr match king at only 1050fps. It seemes to have no issues on hogs up to 150 pounds. I will let you know how it does on a 250 as soon as one messes up and shows himself to me.
