[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3692043, member: 15054"] 400+ lb hog instant death with 1 55gr V-max every deer i shot with the 55gr died with 1 shot and no tracking needed. Would not bother me a bit if I had a 25-06. Only thing that would bother me is finding components to reload for it and I do not want anymore guns to reload for. :) The key to any caliber is shot placement and bullet selection. The .223 55gr V-max by Hornady is explosive and acts like a hand grenade going off inside animals. The 55gr SP Hornady is a non explosive bullet in my testing and buddy shot 2 deer with it in the same place on the deer and they ran off over 500 yards. I will never shoot that bullet at a critter again. The 55 V-max none of the deer or hogs made it farther than 20 feet. And that was 2 deer and only 1 hog. All the rest were bang flop. I had to mention bullet selection. [/QUOTE]
