[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1715218, member: 26227"] I am finding this whole thread a bit disappointing. I am not saying your accounts are not true. it's just so far from what I have experienced and how I have found to dispatch hogs fast and nearly instantaneous. I hog hunted every day for the better part of 5 years in Cali on the ranches and in the orchards of northern Cali between Nevada City and Marysville/Yuba City. my calibers were 270 Winchester, 300 Winchester, and a 375 H&H. 270 was loaded with 100 grain Barnes X, 140 grain Barnes X, 300 was loaded up with 180 grain Barnes X, the 375 was loaded up with Nosler Partitions. every shot except 3 the whole time were neck and head shots. I and Randy (best buddy at the time) hunted hogs as if our lives depended on it. we shot everything from 85 pound roasters to nearly 1,200 pound hybrids. we had black Russians, feral hogs, hybrids, and downright aggressive freaks of nature. I agree shot placement is key with any dangerous or any other game. I shot a boar at 200 yards with a 180 grain Barnes X out of my 300 Winchester and it did not penetrate the flanks of the black Russian boar. however the next shot was the same gun same batch of ammo to the neck and the boar dropped like a sack of meat. His sow was not far from him and was dispatched with my 300 when she squealed and ran into the clear because she thought I shot from the other side of the creek. she also got a neck shot. anything over 225 pounds got a neck or head shot from my 300. Randy would take the 600 + pound hogs with his great grandfather's 375 H&H. That would be every hog over 600 except the first two that I hit.
