That I shoot in my guide gun at 2200 fps is great for deer but not enough for hogs. I have pounded several with that load including two boars that went over 400 lbs, one of them substantially more that I mistook for a large calf fist time I saw him. Everything I've shot with that bullet penetrated 100%. In the smaller of the two largest hogs I recovered a small jacket fragment stuck in the skin in the exit hole. I'm pretty content with this bullet and think its a lot tougher than it's given credit for. I keep playing with the 400-430 grain cast bullets but keep coming back to this this load. Recoil isn't as bad as the heavier 400's at 1700+ and it is real close to 30-30 trajectories. When I get to where I can't take the recoil anymore I'll go to 400's at 1200 fps and limit my range but I think I'm good for another year or two:)
