Gosh! I wish we had them - well actually as much as I have heard about what a pest they are maybe I don't..

Question? for those of you that are hog hunters how would a 45-70, whether it be the old 70 grain45-70 or even the modern 45-70. Would/Will the 45-70 take down a good sized hog?Would/Will a 45-70 penetrate the "shield" in a normal hunting situation?

I know at 60 yards I can bust the heck out of an elk shoulder, pass through the vitals and break through a rib on the other side and out of the animal to end up somewhere in the wild blue-yonder with a 300 grain .458 Nosler Partition. Would that be enough to penetrate the shield if that was the only shot presented?

Gosh! so many things I do not know and there is so little time to find it out.
