Son of the Gael,

The biggest pig killed, which weighed close to 200 pounds on the ranch scale, was shot through both shoulders. The biggest deer killed was also close to 200, and was quartering somewhat to the shooter. The bullet landed just behind the big shoulder joint, and exited the flank on the other side. Personally saw two bucks shot through both shoulders.

That said, the advertised muzzle velocity is 2820 fps (I looked it up on Fiocchi's site) but the rifles had 22" barrels, rather than the standard SAAMI test-length of 24", so actual velocity was probably in the 2750 area, give or take. Still, I never expected ALL of them to exit.
