[QUOTE="CBH Australia, post: 2476229, member: 116486"] I've shot pigs and even Fallow deer opportunistically with a .223 using Nosler BT, I would not set out to hunt these animals with the same but a Varmint rifle was what I had and head shooting was fine. DRT on several occasions when head shots presented. I also recall a time when I shot a pig using a .308 at 100+ metres with the .308 using a Hornady Z-Max 168gn that pig went straight down, an hour later I shot a pig same bullet, same rifle. A close shot about 20m broke up on the shoulder shield of a 60kg pig. I think what happened is that at close range the Ballistic Tip broke up on the shoulder sheild I dispatched it with a head shot. I had photos of the superficial damage. I try learn from every hunt, every experience. Ive dropped plenty of pigs with different rifles. I've used the Speer TNT as well. Be careful, frangible bullets are not designed for hunting and will have inconsistent results. Im not sure which projectile the Z-Max 168gn .30 cal is modelled on but I think it's a bulk packaged A-Max. [/QUOTE]
