My youngest son and I went hog hunting today. Eric took our vintage Rem 700 270 shooting 150g Partitions, I took the 500 Jeffery shooting 570g TSX's. Of course my son got the biggest boar at about 12 feet coming for him in deep thickets. His first shot put him down, right through the eye but he was squealing tryin to get up. It took two more shots from the 270 to quiet him down. I got mine at 8 feet, he looked at me, I looked at him and then a second later I fired. My 500 Jeffery, hit him like a tank was dropped on him, went through the skull between the eyes, ripped out a foot of his spine and exited after about 6 feet of penetration. We hunted with dogs, it was a blast!

Some pics of me and my son, his great big boar the guide estimated at 550 lbs undressed, mine was about 100 lbs lighter.
