When I asked at the gun shop, That is the ammo they recomended for hogs (Fed 300 cast core) They shot straight thru anything I tried on the range, but are way too pricey for me. I am sure I'll get alot of arguments but i have been getting very good penetration on TARGETS with winchester jacketed soft points. I will find out next week how they work on hogs, I hope. I am sure however the castcores would work great.
