[QUOTE="talltexanrancher, post: 1706354, member: 111099"] In my experience a decent sized sow hog shot broadside through the front shoulder with a 30 caliber or larger diameter [U]hunting[/U] bullet doesn't do too much damage to the near shoulder, but typically destroys the off-shoulder side assuming the bullet exits. If its a larger boar which can have a thick "shield" covering its front shoulder, that same shot more likely than not destroys both shoulders, assuming the bullet exits. I don't have any experience using hollow points in the larger calibers on hogs, however, when it comes to shooting hogs, especially big ones, bullets that expand too fast are generally not your friend.
