since this thread is all about hogs or varmits light loads I'll say this. For a light varmit load (read cheap) I like 100 grain hornadys soft points with somting more than 30.5 grains of blc (2). I dont consider a 300 lb hog with a armour/cartilage plate over his chest a varmit; for those I like a 120 gr lead tipped hunting bullet Remington Sierras ect. If your good enough to ALWAYS hit a moving feeding hog (with his head down) in the ear you dont need a centerfire rifle at all. For big hogs I chose somthing that has a SD > .250 and is hard enough to penetrate deeply even if I loose somthing in BC ond it is only capable of shooting .5 moa. Good hunting and remember the little pigs re better tasting
