I had a hog three years ago absorb 4 rounds from my raging bull 480 with 325 gr handloads. The final shot in the head brought it down. It was only 250lbs. Shot two on that trip. First one shot in the head and didn't go anywhere. Animals are a lot tougher then folks give them credit for!
You are absolutely correct. I shot a 200 + pound hog a few weeks ago with my .416 and it had the audacity to run off. Oh, it didn't go far and the damage was extensive, but often times the body doesn't tell the brain immediately that it's dead.
