great feedback guys im glad i started this thread, i have learned alot from various opinions and likes.

For an example though i reload 100gr hornady interlock in my .243 for about 2950fps. I have shot many pigs and goats with this load, with 95% exiting on the far side.. The exit holes vary in size but all the animals pretty much drop on the spot..

Some pigs have ran for 50 yds or so but some of them can be tough buggers.

I use 70gr Sierra Blitz king for the explosive thing... They have failed on pigs before especially when they have been caked with mud..

I generally opt for a head or neck shot when using this load. Its a great varmint load though

Our Sambar deer here in Victoria require a hard hitting deep penetrating bullet, i choose the 200gr woodleigh or the 180gr triple shock in my .300

Sambar will rarely go down on the first shot especially if the hounds are on its tail..

They would have to be the toughest of all deer species in my book.
