Last week, I took a coyote, a feral hog, and assisted in a friend's take of another feral hog, using one 150-grain Remington Core-Lokt in .308 caliber shot from a Jeff Cooper edition Steyr Scout in each encounter. This particular round (or remains thereof) I dug out from underneath the skin of the one I took:
This particular round hit the hog midships, high, and completely busted the spine, spleen, and vented the lower lobes of the lungs, causing pneumothorax evidenced by a "deflating balloon" sound when I first moved the hog carcass. Intererestingly, the lead core seems to have punched through the hog, leaving the copper jacket:
Here, I show the path of the bullet, taken by the hog from about 110 metres, entering starboard and (partially) exiting port:
You know, in this shot, I look almost as (literally) knackered as the hog itself. East Texas is hot and humid this time of year...
yeah man that corelokt bullet dose the job i shot a doe with a 243 win with a 130 grain and it left a blood trail 2 foot wide and she dropped 5yds awway from my stand im hoping it will do just as good in my new 30-06 what do you think
