Jeff, your opinion of this stuff, vs the original black talon, in the same caliber?
That's the stuff I've been referring to - "truncated cone", a FMJ with a flat nose. This is, essentially, the design the Germans developed in WWI that proved so deadly effective. It's kind of the "Keith style semi-wadcutter" of the autoloader world. This is what I would choose if going with a semi-auto for pig hunting. Is it available in .45 ACP as well? Oh, and I would absolutely choose this over the old style Black Talon. The Black Talon might have been a decent hollow point (and a victim of its own vastly over sold hype), but it's never going to penetrate like these flat nose FMJ's. Remember- penetration, penetration, penetration...
