".270 is a bit much for a hog don't ya think?
Are you using a smaller reload round for them or factory ammo? "
Here's the deal..my first hog I hit behind the front leg with buckshot..She ran 30 yds and stopped I put her down with a slug..When I cleaned her I had busted out 5 ribs..barely phased her...
next hog..shot with a 30-30 same place ..almost never found the hog.
Was with a friend who shot a 110 pound sow in the head with a 30-30 dropped her..in 5 minutes she got up again and tore across the field..His dad stopped it with a 270.
I shot another nice hog with a 30-30 ..could not find it..the buzzards did though the next day.
Where i hunt is close to private property so I must stop them in their tracks..A 270 will do that...I plan to make head shots..
