[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 660495, member: 25383"] that's right around 800 ft. lb. of energy @ 100 yards (estimate), but also with a poor quality sectional density and cross section. Try that on a 300+ lb. boar. Where as a typical 30-30 shooting a 150 grain Hornaday will have 1069 ft. lb at the same distance. The Speer 150 grain bullet at 2200 fps will have 1200ft. lb. of energy. On the otherhand a .444 Marlin lever gun shooting 265 grain bullets (just the generic flat pointed solid nosed bullets) will have 1670 ft. lb. of energy. The 300 grain bullet at 2100 fps (safe load) will have 2200 ft. lb. of energy at 100 yards. I know exactly which direction I'd be headed 100% of the time especially with a 300+ pound Tenessee hog. They just don't run around or get back up with anykind of a chest shot. I know of more than one person that walks with a limp due to a boar being in a bad state of mind. gary [/QUOTE]
