Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Pig shoulder shots?

When perforating hoglets, my shot of choice is to draw an imaginary line between the ear and shoulder, then attempt to place a bullet about two inches below the ear along that line. Pretty much anywhere in the near proximity will result in a severing of the spinal column and the porker will drop and paddle. Since these critters are constantly moving and shots may be 200 yds. or so, the POI may be off a skosh (as I zero at 200 and the 175 yd shots are downhill at a +/- 20degree angle)



a tad high @ +/-175 yds,. 6.5 Leopard (6.5-300WSM), 140 gr. Sierra Spitzer, DRT




pretty close! 270 Winchester, 130 gr. Accubond, +/- 120 yds, DRT




little high and back, 325 WSM, 200 Gr. Accubond, +/- 175 yds. DRT




little high and back, 325 WSM, 200 gr Nosler Accubond, +/- 150 yds. DRT.




another, a skosh high and back. 300 H&H, 180 gr. TSX, +/- 175 yds. DRT


As one can tell, I'm not the best shot as I'm usually one to two inches off my intended POI. But what the hey. Nice thing about this shot is that you can usually be two inches off in any direction and still not have to track.

ya!
