Have head shot 5 hogs with SSTs less than 20 yards all damage looked like your pics. Shot a hog 25 or 30 yards away running and quartered away. Barely hit liver and got at least one lung, bullet passed thru and was not recovered. The 80lb boar ran 30 yards and fell over, did not have to blood trail. When cleaned there was good internal damage. I just purchased 2 boxes of 85 grain T-REX rounds from Maker. Hoping to try them out on a hog soon. I may buy some heavier 110 TREX bullets and try them out. So right now the 123 grain SSTs are grouping well from my 16" 5R Faxon barrel. The SSTs have passed thru hog skulls and one body shot hog, with my limited use of them I can't say if they are the best for me..
