[QUOTE="TexasWestPointer, post: 2579394, member: 122952"] I've heard that hogs, pound for pound, are some of the toughest animals in North America. I've seen 250 lb boars shake off head shots from .223 to the skull. I got surprised by a young boar recently, at about 70 yards, 3-4 375 H&H rounds into him and he still ran 80 yards. Of course, if I had hit him right behind the ear he would have laid right down, but snap shooting in the brush, sometimes the hits are lethal, but not instantaneous. Recommend going with a bonded, partition or copper bullet. I've had lighter bullets like interlocks blow up on a hog at a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps or so. [/QUOTE]
