Wow. Thanks for the picks twisted1! Looks like a pass-through? How big would you say that hog was?
Congratulations on the hunt. You might want to copy these pics and your story to the stickied 10mm hunting thread.
It seems that the WFNGC load did the trick from what the photos are saying. Looking forward to your report!
Nice job.

Looks like you got some expansion by the looks of that last pic.
Nice.
Edit: Oops, didn't see it was a hard cast load.

Took the pictures with my old iPhone 4, I upgraded to Samsung skyrocket, so I'm still trying to figure
It out.
Hog was shot at about 40 yards. Bullet did a complete pass through an burrows couple inches into a small tree. I dug it out with my knife, but hard to see expansion when it snacks a tree. I'm in love with these hard cast!

Tater would have to give y'all the bullet details. He sent me some ammo to try. I got a new diamond back 380 auto. Gonna try some buffalo bore ammo on smaller hog this week.:-)

Thanks Twisted...sounds like it worked well.
How big was the Hog?
Tater...is that your 200 gr. WFNGC doing about 1200 fps or so with AA9? BTB or DT?

I'm wondering all the things that Jitterbug is wondering... Plus, how long did it take for the ol' bruiser to expire after being hit?

I have published this load data a few times before, but thought I would redo for those interested.:
Bullet: DT 200 gr WFNGC hardcast
Powder: 13.8 grains Accurate #9 (Accurate's FMJ max is 13.5 and Speer's is/was 14.0 so not pushing things at all)
Primer: CCI 350
Brass: Starline
COL: 1.26"
Average velocity: 1205 fps.
Velocities are from my Gen 3 G20 with the stock barrel. 22# Wolff and stock springs. Same results.
Good function, and no symptoms at all of pushing things to excessive pressures.
Please reduce to 12.4 grains and work up.
