6.5 Creedmoor Barnes 120 TSX Hog Hunt (Favorite Bullet)

I think I found my favorite bullet combination for this rifle!
Watch it literally blow a chunk of lung material out of this boar.
Hornday ELD-X I would use on any medium to large game animal.
Hornday SST I would use on any small game and most medium game (excluding 250 pound hogs).
This bullet I would use on anything from small to large game animals.

Nice shooting. I'm absolutely sold on the 120g Barnes TTSX as well. I'm curious: if you can put down a 250 lb hog with a 120 grain ttsx, why would you choose another bullet for "medium/large" game. 250 seems pretty medium to me.

Just axin.

I've been using the 123 gr. SST for hogs for some time and have lots of confidence in it....regardless of the size of the hog. I used the same load for deer last year, and it worked great!
