I have shot some very large feral boar with 62 & 64gr Gold Dot bullets out of .223 Remington rifles.

When large bone like the spine or neck vertebrae are struck, I've seen the bullets turned to veritable lead dust inside the pig. Nothing to be found but lead colored "powder"...........in very dead pigs.

Failed? Well, a bonded bullet disintegrated. Technically, it failed. But, I knew it was a light bullet for the job and still used it because.........a bullet in the right place kills things.

I have covered the bed of a truck with pigs of myriad sizes all in a nights work with that bullet. A time or two.
