I see. that sounds that the xtp would be an great hunting load. I will start hunting next year und so austria it possible to encounter wildboar, but an 158 grain jsp or an hardcast lead round would be still better for boar defense. Some hunters in my area even say that nothing less 44 mag should be used for boar defense... but I am still the opineon that the 357 mag should work with propper shot placement..

By the way I have already ordered some 125 grain remington jhps for defense.. They should arrive in 2 or 3 weeks.
