[QUOTE="e1harris, post: 1691097, member: 99824"] What I am about to say will sound horrible, I don't mean to make correlations between animals and humans. However, what you just described is very similar to the problems NATO had in Somalia in the early 90's with 5.56 ammo. I am unsure of the cartridge you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure what I am about to say pertains quite realistically. PENETRATION (via velocity) MEANS NOTHING at 'relatively' close ranges. The only thing that matters on Hogs and other 'hyper-active' type animals is either massive expansion or massive bullet weight. I won't shoot anything less powerful than a 150gr .308 Win on Hogs (and a reliably expanding bullet like a Partition or similar). [/QUOTE]
