Thread: Shotgun vs pig close range?

have shot boars of 130ish pound with 4 lead shot back in the day...at range you talking the shot will hardly have left the wad,you sometimes find the wad INSIDE the wound which should be 1/2 inches wide..also shot wallaby with 410 and shot at couple of yards range and found wad inside carcase....
did you cut up your wee pig???unless you MISSED and single pellet went inside ear cavity and into brain...porky must have died of fright. at 5 yards steel four would still be inside a 2" circle if that...when professionally rabbiting we would get very close rabbit and "pluck" head off with shotgun...body shots arent pretty...come to think of it I shot mallard hed at under 5 yards when she took off from under my feet....steel 3 and wad was inside her too....messy but as shot all exited still eatable.
