Default RE: How much lead on a running hog?

i dunno anything about hogs sionce we dont have any here in amine but 99% of the deer we kill are running. i dont really lead them at all. most shots are under 100yds and more then half of those are 50 or less. i use a 350 rem at around 2700fps and i put the front bead right on the neck or shoulder the best i can and thats usually the point of impact if i hit them at all. i dont change nothin in my tactics whether im using my whelen or an 06 or 32 spec. doesnt matter to me. i hopld right on. alos i generally time my shot when the front legs hit the ground.....seems like theres a hesitation in their step at that time
