I saw that also, the guy was darn lucky!!! I believe it was a solid out of a 416 although 416 or 458 doesn't really make any difference. But being a solid it blew right through without releasing most of it's energy in the PH. Not that I would want to try it!

I am amazed at the number of posters that feel the 9mm is good to protect their lives but not good for deer. IMHO if it ain't good for deer the it sure as he'll ain't good enough to defend my life.
If I had my choice for personal protection I would take a 12 gauge or a 30/06 but they're kind of hard to conceal in my pants! One needs to balance out what they need the gun to do. Deer are also much tougher than people. I've seen plenty of deer running around on three legs but a human stubs his toe and he's on crutches! Obviously you are not aware of a determined attacker wounds don't impress them much.

The 9mm and the Hornady Critical Duty may be a good option for taking a Boar on the Hog Hunt Will be very interesting to see how the bullet performs if you decide to do so. IIRC [bleep] shot one with his High Power last year..... Yes he did, and I was thoroughly impressed with the way the hog reacted at the shot. I'm not sure what kind of ammunition he was running that day, but Ol' Oreo noticed she was hit, right off.

I've finished off several with a. 40 and 165 gold dot. I was never impressed with the results though I must admit they did work.
