I have been shooting the 454 .452 300 for along time now and it's probebly the best bullet my omega has ever used. The jacketed 300 hydra con is a close second. I sure wish we had some of those hogs here in Vermont.

Oh no you don't. Those thing destroy the natural balance of the woods. They're just now making it to KS and we're scared things will change forever.

Yes your right, i was just thinking of the fun it would be going out and hunting these things,not thinking of the destruction they do. I guess they claim there in New Hampshire so one day they may reek havoc here too. I do love pork chops though.

Do you also feel, like Sabotloader.. this bullet needs to be pushed hard?

Not trying to speak for Sabotloader, but I believe he means that they need to be pushed hard for peak accuracy. I got them grouping very well out of my Omega last season but not until I pushed it with 110gr BH209. 105gr didn't cut it. As for terminal performance, the deer I shot last year had an entrance wound larger than a golfball and no heart. Nothing.
