[QUOTE="djones, post: 821723, member: 39567"] if it makes a difference at all, i'd say it depends on whether or not you plan on hitting a large amount of bone going in. there may be pics or videos out there about the thick gristle shield on large boars, but even if there is evidence of it stopping a bullet from a high powered rifle, i'd have to say it's the exception rather than the rule. i shoot plain old 150gr corelokts in .308 because i shoot a lot and they're cheap. some pass through, some don't. some hogs run off, some don't. the only way to reliably anchor one is to disrupt the central nervous system. i took a friend's kid hunting a few weeks ago to help him shoot his first pig. i saw him shoot on paper and knew he could place the bullet if he could control his excitement. thought a good shoulder shot from a 308 would give him room for error and still smash bone into the vitals. at 75 yards he put the bullet right in the shoulder. it took off and he fired three more shots, one of which hit two inches from the first shot. we found the pig about 50 yards away… and it wasn't a very big pig. sometimes pigs do whatever they want to. i put a mask on the boy because… 1. he's a kid and i don't have permission to post his pic 2. i thought it was funny 3. he really is batman [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nrOcmp1af18/UcmpshtvxaI/AAAAAAAAElc/a-XSMVu4UcM/s800/batman.JPG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
