    I've dropped two pigs (each approx 60kg) from 5m with 55gr SPs. One was a frontal headshot, dropped on the spot. Eyes bulged out and found the projectile in the spine. Vertebrae smashed and spinal cord severed. The second was a side-on neck shot. Went down but squirmed around for a bit.

    I snuck up on both piggies myself. Don't have dogs, so can't comment on the high-tempo bail up scenario.
