Thread: What is a "miss"

put a 180grn round nosed hornady fired out of my .308 yesterday into a 40lb sow,she was asleep in fern and my pooch led me right into spot,bullet entered above eye (all I could see was snout and half her head) destroyed neck bones completely,into chest just and can to rest under skin at her 2nd nipple weighing 102.5grns......did the job perfectly and any old deer side on isnt going to give me that much resistance
2nd pig about 55lb made mistake of giving me glimpse at 25 yards and he copped bullet too far back...but as it was an old school 150 grn silvertip it didnt matter as it did what they supposed to do and dumped nearly all its energy on way through...bit messy to be sure,dog grabbed wounded pig then stood back and bailed when it squeeled.....died before I had walked 25 yards over to it.....job done.we lost both flaps and about 2 cup fulls of meat of one rear leg and kidney area eye fillet/steak. first pig we can eat right up to bullet channel.
first 2 shots fired in anger from this rifle and the hornadies have got the big tick for a bush load...thanks C.H.
