On the last hog trip I loaded with Barnes 120gr TSX bullets out of a 22" barrel. Bang, flop, dead.
In about 2 weeks, I'm going with a 16" upper (lighter) and since the velocity will be lower, I opted for the 120gr TTSX. In retrospect, I should have gone with the lighter 100gr TTSX, but I think these will do fine.
A buddy just got back from a night time nightvision-equipped hog hunting trip in Texas and he said that they were using .556 ARs with great effect, so any Grendel load should be fine on hogs.
I'm also going to southern California, so lead bullets are out.
