I've shot hogs using the Bonded Shockwaves and they have been pass throughs using 110 gr pyrodex loose. Their front quarters are like rocks and unless you have a solid bullet it will fragment. It really does not matter as long as you put it in the kitchen. Good eating for sure. I usually smoke mine until it falls off the bones and add your favorite sauce along with your favorite beverage and you have one heck of a meal.
