295lb Texas Boar & 120gr Nosler BT's
#1
Hunting a stretch of the Colorado River this last Friday. A little after 7pm I hear branches cracking below the cliff ledge I'm hunting. Between the mesquites and salt cedars I see a sizeable lone boar. No shot opportunity but I wait for him to emerge from the cover and he does at 115 yards. He's walking away from me but I'm positioned 50' above him so I take a shot from above between his shoulder blades. He runs perpendicular to me for about 100 yards in the open and I get another hit that folds him. Chest girth measured 49 inches (295lbs). I didn't do a necropsy to determine how the bullet performed, but the pig left an incredible blood trail the whole length of his run. No exit wound I could find on the 120gr Nosler. These are older loads from when AA originally loaded them years ago. The Nosler BT seems to have great expansion and maybe bullet separation, thoughts?
