Ok, two weeks ago I shot a hog at night, was one of a group of 12 or so. They al scattered and I did not know which one was the target. No blood anywhere.
So after looking a round a bit with out finding anything, I assumed I missed.
Went back the next morning and there the sow lied. Oh well buzzards got to eat too.
This leads up to this weekend. Last night I walked up on one of the big boars that visits on a regular basis. I am pumped, been after this guy for some time. I get down on a knee and steady my shot- bang. No flop. Off he goes. No blood.
Dang I must be the worst shot ever.
After getting myself together I go out tonight. Just before dark a nice 90 pounder shows. I am set in the blind. Shooting off the window rail. Bang, and off another one goes. What the heck. No blood.
I will confirm zero in the morning but am starting to think it may be my bullet of choice.
I am shooting an AR308 16" barrel 168 gr TTSX Barnes bullets.
The pig I found the next morning had entry and exit wound the same pin hole size. Are these bullets just running right trough them without any expansion.
Shoots are 80 or so yards.
I am so bummed. I need some meet in the freezer and to mix with this years venison.
Has anyone had an experience like this? Any recommendations on bullets for .308 hog load? Gonna be scratching my head all night about this.
