[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1916241, member: 30671"] Yes I did watch the video. Including the part about bullet being unrecovered, as much as I respect, and enjoy his video’s, we don’t know what happened to the bullet. No I can’t think of a bullet in that weight class I would recommend for that type of shot. Fact is that bullet wouldn’t be on my list for that type of shot. Not a Hammer issue, a Berger issue, or a Nosler issue, it’s an objectivity issue. The shot was called as a "Hail Mary" I don't know if the saints interceded, so what we have is a small for caliber bullet, and a low percentage shot. The hog from what I see turned legs to sky on impact, crawled a few yards, then ceased to move in less than 30 seconds, unless it was finished in some other fashion not on the video, was dead, required no tracking and was readily recovered. If we include other bullets, and weights, my preference making that shot would be the 160 Hornady, Woodleigh. or the 156 Norma Oryx. We should always be so disappointed. Again Ed absolutely love your video's, watch them all. I appreciate you putting it out there for discussion. [/QUOTE]
