As far as I know, you can tell what it has been mixed with by the color. Some degree of Russian will tend to make a dark, almost black pig. The lighter colors are just feral hogs. Of course, I believe the OP was talking about Texas pigs, not some other part of the world. So, I believe there's some validity to what I have experienced with less than powerful loads.

#1 son said today that there are some rootings in the upper end of the pond, where the water isn't anymore. The lack of rain has dried things up pretty severely, so most sightings will probably be closer to a water source.

I'm pretty sure a 170 gr Keith will shoot from stem to stern on most hogs encountered around here, but it'll probably need to be a little hotter than what most people are shooting for .357 Mag, i.e above 1300 fps.
