[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1260719, member: 30902"] I've shot two hogs with them this week, one a boar around 300lbs and another closer to 400lbs. Both were shot at around 300yds. Boar one was almost perfectly broadside, I put it just below and behind his left ear, it went straight through the spine and exited so it wasn't recovered. Boar two was slightly quartering so I put it on the crease between neck and shoulder. Impact was right on target, it took out the spine just in front of the point of the shoulders and I think may have buried up in the off shoulder. They guys dressing him out are going to look for it for me. It was late when I got to him and while I didn't notice an exit I wasn't really looking for it very hard. It penetrated at least 18" of thick, tough skin, cartilage, spine, and heavy, thick neck and shoulder muscle. I was shooting the 125g 6.5 bullet from my .260 Remington so it's not like that bullet was being driven at warp 9, it's just a very well designed and manufactured bullet. This is the first bullet I've shot that actually shoots better than it's ballistic coefficient would indicate. In both of my .260's one Remington and one Ruger they are shooting .25-.5 MOA and in my light .300 Rum right around half MOA as well.
