not sure why they're so blurry but this exit wound is the far offside shoulder of the "mellow" federal barnes load. below is the hide. the exit wound is over 2" wide. not bad for a bullet that expands to about an inch and is only 250gr.

Tradmark, that is a tank of a hog! the Barnes sure did the trick there. how far away was he when you shot him?

Nice job.
I have a hog hunt booked for the 25-26th of jan and can't wait. Just finished reloading 5 different loads using the Barnes Buster 325 gr. in S&W 460 brass. Installed the UltraDot Matchdot off of my Buckmark onto the 460 and will sight it in this weekend as well as testing the new rounds.

Congrats! That's a very nice porker!
