You done opened a can of worms on this one.. I use 55gr remington core-lokt psp. The damage that little bullet does inside the body is unreal! That bullet is not a Core Lokt. Just a PSP varmint bullet. Right you are. I use Remington Express 55gr PSP. Maybe it's a varmint round but it turns into a buzz saw inside a deer or pig. Never needed a second shot in 20+ years I've been shooting it. Longest shot was 120 yds. yep. They can work great for lung/heart shots. But I would stay away from bone and quartering shots. YMMV I use Remington Express 55gr PSP also and always take hi-point of the shoulder shots. Killed a lot of deer with it with great success. No tracking with those shots.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Have you used this ammo for hogs? If so what is your experience with it? I am now using some 223 Hornady full boar 50gr with a gmx bullet. I have yet to see what it does to hogs but I was looking for ammo that I can use for dual purpose, for either hogs or deer.
