My *guess* is that it has too thin a jacket and too shallow of penetration. Besides - you can get M193 for much cheaper, and you know it works. For hogs, I would recommend something quite a bit sturdier. You're not going to put down a hog with that unless you have great shot placement.

I have fired thousands of 55 g BT loads and they are for varmints period. They expand very quickly and have little penatration. I have tried doubles on prairie dog with this bullet and have yet to make one. Doubles is when you get one PD standing behind another and try to get both with one shot. With the BT you get the back PD looking confused and covered with guts from the front PD but untouched by the bullet.
