I've got a couple of handloads worked up right now.

Sierra 165 grain HPBT Gameking doing about 2620 fps.

Speer 180 grain Grand Slam doing about 2360 fps.

I can hit well with either of them.

Which would work better for 200-400 lb feral hogs?

I think either one of them will do fine for the smaller hogs, but I'm concerned about the bigger ones. I don't want to track a hurt, ticked off hog into the swamps and then try to drag his body out somehow.

Which would you guys choose?

I could also load up some 150 grain Remington Bronze Points if you think they would work better. I haven't worked on a load for them though.

Thanks ahead of time for sharing your collective wisdom.
