[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 2246266, member: 12387"] Let me begin with this - I've never shot a hog. However - I do have quite a bit of experience with using a .22-250 for deer hunting and a little experience with .223. The Hornady 60 grain bullet has a pretty heavy jacket and will usually shoot through a whitetail deer at .22-250 velocities. The Nosler partition performs well on deer, but I have always been disappointed with the accuracy in my rifle. The Speer 70 grain Spitzer is accurate, but it has a light jacket. I would say it is just a heavy varmint bullet. Can't comment on the Barnes bullets since I haven't tried them, but if I was going hog hunting with a .22 centerfire I would try the 60 grain Hornady if they are available. Good Luck - Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
