I had the same question not to long ago and here are the results that I got. I'm not sure if you are lookiing to reload or to just buy some ready to go,

personally I have the ability and setup to reload so I am reloading with a 60gr Nosler Balistic Tip.



Hope that helps a little bit.

Here's the ultimate hog round...I don't know if your 1:9 will stabilize it.

Thanks for the feedback. I did a search on just "hog" but no go.. Darin, I don't think it would much matter if that round even tumbled into a herd. Prolly get some from shock, shrapnel, encapsulated with dirt(ie ground taken from beneath them and covering them up ...Where can i obtain 1k of these and what is the price shipped to LA? Are these primers hard?

Is that a soft point round?

Here are three I shot his pastt weekend (1/30/2009) with a SIG 556 1:7 twist using Prvi 69 grain BTJHP .223 @ 200 yards in less than 5 seconds


The Prvi .223 75 grain MATCH BTJHP and Hornady 5.56mm NATO 75 grain BTJHP TAP 2 rounds also both perform extremely well.

Those small ones look they are just about the right size to just smoke whole
