I have a 7-30 Water, shooting 120gr Nosler BT. I am looking at a hog hunt. range would be within 100yds. Should I use a heavier bullet or a bullet like a Partition, Barnes, Swift, etc.

Look at the 140gr Nosler partition. Had great luck with it. reflex264

The new BT and the Partition would be fast enough @ 100 yards to work so I would probably lean toward the Partition.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

What about a Barnes tripple shock?

you might be marginal on velocity with the Barnes. You normally lose velocity with the barnes stuff anyways and the 7-30 isn't a screamer. I'd look at either the 140gr Partition or Accubond.

The Barnes kills everything out of the twelve inch 7/30 waters. Works great from hogs to much larger. Seen it done.
