my reason for concern was the fact that the round did not punch through on a 130 lb boar, what if it would have been a 250 lb boar? my guess is that I would have lost it.
You have good reason to be concerned. I would too. I had the same problem deer hunting this year. I was also disappointed in my 140 gr. Accubond bullet. Taking a quartering shot at a deer at 136 yards with my 7 mm-08 and not having a clean pass thru didn’t impress me at all and no blood trail...
Trailer I am suprised by this as well. I have used the accubond in 160gr from my 7mm rem mag on deer, elk and moose and received pass thrus/excellenmt performance. Although I never hit any bone and was always suspect about this on the larger game so I have now gone with the TSX for elk and moose. Curious, was it a 1/4 to or away? What was wound channel like? Did you recover the Ab or pieces?
I have shot many deer sized animals with NBT and most have exited, even when the opposite shoulder is hit on 1/4 away. I really don't care if the bullet doesn't exit as long as it makes soup of the vitals and any animal that goes down within 50 yards is a pretty good result to me. Though have no clue how hogs are built. I suggest trying the Nosler Partition in your 270wsm.
