This is the result of a 500 grain bullet hit a wild pig at around 26 meters. Do you think it’s up to the task?
Interesting point is that 10 out of 10 phs (Australia) all use Woodleigh soft points for shooting buffalo.
Yeah I think you'll have to step it up to at least a .577NE. Let me see if I can reconstruct what happened here. That 1.5oz. slug didn't even make it past the hide, then the pig ran into the thick scrub, tripped over a pile of rusty bayonets left there by some careless ex-Gallipoli veteran as it ran for cover. A nearby wallaby, standing on the pile and seeing this, scrambled in the opposite direction and in the process, its powerful kick thrust a mass of bayonets toward the pig, gutting him and starting a Tetanus infection which killed him. That was my analysis of that picture anyway... . Of course, my degree is in engineering, not forensic science. Nice Shot! .500 NE is on my wish list, but then my LGS just got in a Craig boddington Ruger No.1 in .450NE 3.25" I don't have room for all these guns!
