[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2295496, member: 113404"] I would have loved to recover the hogs shot, but they ran too far onto other properties. I hate that. I'm used to seeing hogs go down in sight, most the time within 20-30yds. (Hundreds of hogs of various weights over the past 20yrs) This common result from: .308 155 & 168gr Amax, even FMJ South African surplus 7mm Rem Mag 300 WM 200 Accubonds 44mag carbine TX heart shots 45 ACP 230gr Federal HST (close shots) Anyhoo, referencing the video, its possible the hog was farther out since the vid was magnified and I noticed a slight delay from shot to impact. I did not see a pass through as typically indicated by dust kicking up behind the hog, and it seemed to have a stiff opposite side front leg when running off. Like maybe the slug was stopped by the shoulder bone or was stuck in the bone. Regardless, this 35 Rem is being relegated to canyon busting close shots within 40yds to include multiple shots if needed. Also give those FTX a try, but won't know till next year. [/QUOTE]
