I left it up at my friends place when I came home this weekend and he shot a hog w/ it Sunday night and he said that the hog never knew what hit it. Now if I can find that big one we've seen running around there. The biggest we've shot was about 500 lbs and this one makes it look little. We had a shot at it one night from about 200 yards w/ a .300 Win Mag but we didn't take the shot becasue we didn't want to chase one that big if we only wounded it at night. We shot one about 300 lbs one night w/ the .300 and heard it fall so we were crawling on our hands and knees through the brush to go get it when it got about 15 feet from it the hog started walking away and the brush was so thick we couldn't see it to shoot. I figure if we hit them right w/ the .450 we won't have to worry about that anymore. It is amazing how tough wild hogs can be.
