That’s what I’ve seen from my 6.8 SPC as well, they hit fine, and fly fine... but if you want better stopping performance than ballistics the 300 HAM ‘R. (HAM... LOL too funny) has better terminal performance, or at least the opportunity of it.
I say that because you can see the hogs in the 300 vid’s go down faster / harder than with the 6.8 vid.
Personally I have experienced bullets moving at 2400 penetrate better than ones that 27/2900 which cause lots of meat damage - when a critter is running, hitting a bone takes them down hard, and pigs have heavy bones so I can definitely see a HAM’R hamming better performance... Dead is dead, the 6.8 has longer / flatter tragectory, but the HAM will drop more faster IMO.
Love you videos...

Have you ever had a double line up perfectly?
many times pigs run away from the sound of the impact of the first pig hit. they also tend to run back in the direction they came from. i've tried to get creative on steering them in the direction i want. then again, they can get just as creative and run right at me, lol
i was still shooting a 6.8 here with an armasight zeus. pig was pumping blood pretty good but kept coming. i was hiding a couple of rows inside the corn and they never knew where i was!!
as far as doubles go, yes i've tried that numerous times but only seem to get the first one. i tend to use destructive bullets and probably don't do much damage if/when they exit.
