So yesterday i got out for only the second time this year for whistlepigs and despite 20-30 mph gust had a good day. I shot a total of 5 hogs anywhere from 20 yards to 200 with only 2 misses but both where 300 yards shots and with 20mph winds i was not suprised. Out of the 5 hogs 2 of them either ran or crawled back into there hole which leads me to my question.
I am shooting a 700 vls 223 and 55 grain sierra gameking BT sptizers. It seems anytime i hit bone they where quite explosive but the thing that bothers me is the 2 that got away. I am sure they will die in there holes but i am about quick clean kills and thats why i am wondering if the expolsiveness of the blitzkings maybe better suited for groundhogs compared to the spitzer. I am sure the spitzer would be great for coyotes as to where it would leave minimal hide damage with great penetration but for hogs i am starting to lean more towards blitzkings. Does anybody have experience with both bullets? Any input would be appreciated.
