[QUOTE="hunterbob, post: 2216476, member: 38116"] I agree, brother; I always use the same bullet for target and hunting...and i have lost a couple animals in my time of hunting...If you hunt long enough, sooner, or later it can happen, what you thought was a dead shot , becomes a miss, with all the variables , or a slightly wounded' that you may not recover... Hogs are the worst, because they can carry a lot of lead, don't bleed , or leave a blood trail most of the time.. No matter what bullet we use...I seen one flipped upside down , feet up with a 3006, 125 yds...The rest of them ran every which way, and when my partner looked , the hog he hit first was gone... one shot with a 270 at 150 yds through front shoulder , exited opposite side rear quarter. It ran over a 100 yds in brush lol.. Neck and heart shot dirtnap 200 yds. i knelt down for the shot. If i can hit them in the head , neck or heart will usually anchor one.. 308 , 125 gr SST [/QUOTE]
