Buddy wanted this taken but was his pig (2 in the trap & I got distracted when he got this one). Another black one ran to the right of the mesquite trees. I first hit him in the clear patch behind me, then he turned left at the trees and I got a 5th shot at a dark spot left of the tree- a 'hail mary' but there is 50yds of brush then 400 yds plowed fields - a safe shot. I think I got him 3 times before the tree - we tracked & found several 2" blood wipes on the johnson grass just before the trees. A run goes to the left behind the trees - didn't go far as I was wearing tennis shoes and there are rattlers around. Buddy has boots so we looked for 20 min but lost. Anyway, load was 16 gr. 1680 under 185gr RD GC style soft cast boolit.
Had the 30/30 & a couple soft alloy loads (185gr like 041, 16 gr 2400) so I tested on this one. Shot in the shoulder area, no exit but broken shoulder. Shot in the gut in front of rear legs and got 45 sized exit.
