Haven’t loaded these but there are some pics of dead hogs on PSA’s page for the factory loaded ammo.

That's great. Couple of photos popped up in the .223 thread in the last day or two as well, that were impressive.

Yes, I made an account specifically to reply to you. The trick is to finding the right powder for this bullet. I couldn't get very good accuracy out of my fn 18" barrel with this bullet and varget, but I tried staball match and achieved this group, 100 yards.

That's awesome, thank you. And welcome to Rokslide - the people here are an absolute treasure trove of experience and information, and you just became one of us. I appreciate the photo and powder tip, that's a great group.

EDIT: If you don't mind sharing, what was the charge and velocities you were getting?

I'm using 25gr, which I swear was found in load data but everywhere I've looked is saying max is around 24gr... so use at your own risk. Out of my 18" barrel I'm getting 2700 fps, which is absolutely perfect. No pressure signs on the brass or primers.
