On Wed. of this week, right at dark, in Texas, a large ( black as a crow ) sow and 2 small shoats were just in the edge of a small opening. The ranch hand looked at me and said, " that's a baby factory. Please shoot her ". Got the range at 169 yds and the Tikka T3X spoke. A Hornady 143 gr ELDX with 40.5 grains of H4350 went in on a hard quartering away shot. The sow jumped and went about 7' in pure Texas heck. Cactus and thorns solid. Made a small entrance hole following blood into the thicket, saw a black object, put a rope on a back foot and drug her out. Left some blood of my own in there and I'm still picking out cactus spines. Guessed her weight at 190ish and I've killed and weighed lots of swine. I know I didn't shoot through the shield of a big boar but the ELDX lived up to it's reputation penetrating deeply on a large hog. I'm sold on a factory Tikka, shooting a real good round that shoots outstanding in handloads or any factory rounds that I've tried.
