From: Long island,
I took my boar @ 68 yds. with my .50 cal. T/C Omega. 250gr. Hornday SST/ML and two Pyrodex pellets. Since he was quartered left Iplaced the shot just in front of his shoulder where his neck meets it. He went down like a ton of bacon kicked a few times and that was teh end of that story!
When I went to pick up the meat from the butcher he told me he had a suprise for me and handed me my bullet. I weighed it and it came up 194.3gr. That means that the bullet retained 78% of its weight and mushroomed like the ones you see in the magazine ads.
I need to thank everyone here for the helpful advice and knowledge that you shared with me it certainly gave me the confidence to do whatI needed to do to get my first pig!
Below are some photos I hope this works

RE: 250 SST
This looks like just one more example of what a great all around MZ bullet the Shockwave/SST is turning out to be. Tough enough for things like elk and hogs - expand adequately on lighter stuff like deer and antelope. I guess pork is going to be on the menu at your house for awhile

RE: 250 SST
Excellent photos and story. That just goes to show that the Shockwave is an excellent bullet for about anything you want to hunt. I would like to congratulate you on a fine hunt and an excellent chunk of pork there.
