I remember once it took five rounds of Federal blue box .25/06 ammo loaded with 120gn Speer bullets to put down a good boar. I was hitting him just behind the shoulder/front leg. They were just penciling through. Eventually I hit him right through the thick shoulder pad and it dropped him. For the rest of the trip I aimed to drive the bullet through the heavy shoulder and the pigs just dropped. But aim four to six inches back and they would run. I remember being amazed as I had always thought Speer bullets to be rather soft but this example taught me otherwise. So two totally different killing effects determined by bullet placement.
