I was coyote hunting on a ranch in TX for A TV show called "Just Hunting". We were going to a different stand. I was in the back of the truck and the cameraman was up in the highrack. The foreman quickly stopped the truck and says "There's that big*** hog shoot him Rod". "I can't this is a .223 and I am shooting a 40 grain hollow point!" I said. "Shoot him on the point of the shoulder and I promise you he will go down". OK
Well I couldn't bring myself to do that so I placed the crosshairs behind the shoulder and tourched one off. The foreman said I missed he saw dirt kick up behind the hog. I said "I don't know what you saw but I guarantee you I did not miss at 200 yards a hog that big." Upon inspection we found the hog 30 yards dead as a hammer. The bullet passed completely through the hog. I assume the bullet may had clogged up and never expanded and he saw the bullet exit. Anyhow we did not weigh the hog but I would quess it to be over 200 lbs.
