I went hunting this evening to try and remove a pig or pigs from my deer hunting area. I've been noticing tracks near the feeder. Just a little after sunset three pigs about 100 or 120 lbs. showed up. When they stopped I put the crosshairs on the head of the middle pig and pressed the trigger. There was a loud whop and the pig fell. The other two trotted off about 10 yards. I was able to bolt another round and fire at a second pig just as it started to move off. I heard the whop of the hit. The second pig then crossed the fence into a thicket. I'm certain the hit was in the vitals even though I was not able to recover the second pig.
I recovered the boolit from the first pig. The pig had been standing straight toward me. However the trajectory was downward due to me being in an elevated stand. The Impact was behind the right ear and downward through the right side of.the neck and vertebra and ended up in the brisket area in front of the right leg/shoulder. I haven't weighed it yet but here are a couple of pics. I'm guessing that the boolit penetrated a good 10" of meat and bone. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee467/BLK7mm/2013-10-12213456.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee467/BLK7mm/2013-10-12213446.jpg
Anyone want to guess which boolit this is? Alloy is 50/50 with a little tin and impact velocity was right at 1000fps. The boolit also has a deep hollowpoint.
Anyway, I brought the pig home for testing a couple of additional loads for this 300 whisper. Ive been shooting some 110 vmax, 311-410 HP, 312-159 HP, and 247 GC-HP. My 6 year old daughter had expressed an interest in deer hunting this year and I wanted.to check some load.performance.
