I like the way this thread is heading.

Here's one for ya- I've killed 3 hogs this year.
2 were with an AR shooting .223. one boar hog ~150# shot with 55 grain metal case- DRT. the next ~100# boar 60 gr nosler partition- DRT. both shot broadside w/ no exit on either.

The third was a large boar pushing ~200# shot with a .308 pistol shooting 150 gr federal fushions, standing quartering to- this one ran ~ 60 yards and did all kinds of circling & what not before dying.

As far as DRT goes, I like to shoot behind the shoulder to ruin less meat. I know I'll have to track a short distance- unless I shoot a little high & shock the spine (the spine slouches down , somewhat easy to do).

My wife aims for the shoulder and they usually fold right there.

I'd like to hear what ammo/ style bullets works best as well.
