230 yards, 308, hit him under the ear and got a pass through with 178 AMAX.

Re: West TX boar

Didn't weigh it but I bet he was in the 250# range. They are amazingly dense animals.

For kicks, I fired some .223 FMJs into the carcass at different points. No pass through in the head, no pass through in the body (not surprising). The .308 kill shot easily passed through the skull and even kicked up dust behind him. Fun stuff.
