Quote:The first hog the head shot looked good from the bullet but about any bullet would have wored well on that shot placement.
Maybe I should have shot him in the shoulder, but figured if he disappeared over the rise behind him, I might never find him because of the drainages if he got into those. Head shots are terribly uninformative, IMO, beyond showing penetration.
Quote:From this body of data, we are starting to see that Wolf Steel is considerably less effective of a hunting round, than a purpose made hunting bullet; despite gel tests (and as you note: animals are not made of gel). Given the choice, the $0.70 upcharge per shot is a small added expense, considering the time and all other expenses involved in the endevour. Or in other words, Wolf Steel is starting to appear to not be just as good as any other hunting round, for dropping hogs. Good to know, thanks for investing the ~20+ man hours of testing, data compilation, and professional quality presentation of the findings, to let us know.
We aren't allowed to run the costs numbers lest the wife finds out how much all this costs and I get my revolving door kitchen pass revoked!
Kill a hog. Save the planet.
