[QUOTE="adobewalls, post: 24240, member: 526"] Several years ago I shot a larger hog with a 160 GMK in 7mm. I estimate the pig was 300+ lbs. and it was at 80 yds distance. The pig was moving on a trail that gave me a front quartering shot with the pig moving across and towards me. The bullet hit mid-way up behind the left shoulder traversed the torso and broke three ribs on the off side but did not exit. The impact visibly rocked the pig, but did not put him down, he wheeled and retraced from whence he came. We found him about 200 yds. from where I hit him. That was the first animal I shot with the 7mm Mag that did not drop in its tracks. I do worry what a GMK would do if it hit a solid bone or the "shoulder plate" at mag velocities under 150 yds. So, now my pig load consists of partitions, but I have not since shot a pig near the size of the one above so cannot say comment on the partitions performance. [/QUOTE]
