Biggest hog i ever killed was with a 240 grain XTP. The field dressed pig pegged the 350 pound scales. That bullet went through both shoulders and left an exit hole one inch or bigger.It went through 18 inches of gristle, flesh and bone.
falcon - out of curiosity. How far was that hog away from you? Also what kind of powder charge were you shooting? The reason I ask is a person I used to talk to all the time on a forumwas a big hog hunter. You hear all this talk of the XTP's not penetrating. Yet, he swore by the XTP as his hog load. He says it knocked them flat. So your report caught my interest.
