60 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip from a 22-250.
Very effective with a neck shot, other than that I dont know.
55gr barnes bullet out of a 223 AR15.
55 gr V-Max from AR 16" barrel 2789 fps and Savage axis .223 22" at 3190 fps.
Heart shots and neck shots and my buddy put them down in 2 jumps with crappy shots (under skin no vitals hit), same bullet.
Hogs over 400 lbs die on the spot with a neck or ear shot and that pill.
It is my favorite bullet out of all i have used in any caliber.
Shot a hog through the hard shoulder area and killed it where it stood.
I like it so much that I researched sabots for 30 cal to try it in 30-30 as I hate that slow 150 gr 30-30.
It is my least favorite gun to shoot deer with.
Growing up all the old guys had 30-30 and you hardly ever took deer home and if you did it was all shot up.
I have killed a few with it but sure do not like it. Running 125 HP now in it but have not hit a deer with them. Should be way better than the non expanding penciling through 150 gr.
I do not like the Hornady 55gr SP No shock factor, deer run hundreds of yards and you recover a mushroomed bullet.
V-Max 55 gr goes in a couple inches then begins to come apart like a hand grenade.
Looks like you took a 2" wood paddle bit and wallered it around for the next 8".
It will explode neck bones.
87 V max in .243 was awesome.
Stepping down to 70 gr this year.
I have become a big fan of small bullets that explode inside critters.
I do a lot of testing on meat before I try a bullet.
I did not try the 55gr SP on meat as I thought it would act like the V max and I was mistaken.
Maybe it needed pushed faster.
I do not know, I sold all of the ones I had.

22 LR 40 grain Hollow point.
60 grain soft point out of an AR15, about 100 yards and another around 75. One dropped on the spot and the other ran about 50 yards and flopped.
