I would never use a BT on a hog and on the deer,,,Its all about bullet placement. Not on the shoulder. Hornady light mag is a BT for the 7x57? hornady does use a SST that works well, abit tougher bullet. I have had both recoverd case's of BT but only if hit middle lung/heart. Had some both low and hit hits that blow off chuncks of backbone and above or low heart shoots that did the same when hit a bit low. But deer did not move in either case ,well exect to hit the ground. Now the ct and accutip are different enought to be in a different group. More like the sst.
Bella if you don't make a bad shoot nothing will drop a deer quicker than a BT and the 140gr in 7-08 is a great choice. Just put that bullet in the heart/lung area and it's down.
