I'd love to see a pig take a shoulder hit from a .264 magnum and 140gr VLD, bounce back up and start feeding again....


I don't have anywhere near the experience/data as Pat, but I haven't seen a Berger VLD "bounce off" a deer or pig either. My hunting camp partner has killed several large hogs with 168's in 308 Win. cartridges I handloaded. They've penetrated with quartering on presentation, and they've also blown out large sections of spine at the neck/shoulder area from a quartering away presentation with the shooter in a elevated position. "Easier" angles have been no problem either.
