Marksmen, Bullet performance on boar: This boar was close to 350lb and I fired 2 rounds of Hornady factory ammo using their 300gr XTP Mag bullet. The boar was feeding with his head down, facing me , about 40yds. I tried for a neck shot but was to far left and the bullet traveled under the skin in the fat to stop along side the lungs. He ran to my left and I hit him in the left lung with the bullet stopping under the skin of the right side as he dropped after a short run. The bullet through the lungs weighed 279.2grs losing 20.8grs. Thats the bullet on the left. The bullet on the right traveled under the skin and lost only 8.9grs.
