The reading I've seen says that in order to get hydrostatic shock you need an entry velocity of ~2400 fps, and entry somewhere close to the CNS...
I'm not an expert on this, and tbh I thought I saw a much earlier article that said 2200 fps min, but in any case, there's probably some minimum entry velocity needed to cause a sufficient shock wave to disable or downright kill the animal.
So most grendel loads, especially a 123 gr one, may not have that sufficient minimum entry velocity...
Come to think of it, maybe the proper term is one of momentum at impact... o well.
DNS do you know of any studies that concluded this as well?
Definitely not as good a hog hunter as you are so no worries there!! (and probably others too).
