I used Remington Pointed soft points because they were $17.95 a 100 and they were perfect for headshooting Kangaroos as they blow up on contact and take out a good size hole.If you hit anything in the neck it wont go far there is to much vital for life stuff in there.Look forward to a report soon

Best pig gun's a .303! If in doubt, re-read rule 303.... :lol:

Further to the pig bullet question:
Has anyone tried Hornady's ballistic tipped solid copper GMX projectiles?
They look good "on paper", but at over $1 each, are they that much better than Sierra Gameking?

You gotta love serendipity.
I was talking to an old mate on Thursday who gave me a pile of unwanted projectiles last year, some military SS109 penetrators, various target rounds and some soft nose.
I mentioned my intent to get some SGK for the pigs and he asked me if I'd used all the ones he gave me.
Turns out the ziplock bag of soft points I've used several times for goats are actually SGK.
If they work half as well as they do on Billy, Porky is in trouble.
Shame I didn't find this out until after I'd ordered more.
