Anyone shooting a 6.8 for hogs? My son, Tyler build one on a ar platform. He is shooting Hornady vmax 110 and can’t remember the last hog that dropped. His GF shot a huge hog this weekend, quartering to and hit it at the base of the neck. Tyler said he dropped and had blood all over his chest. Then got up and hauled butt. This isn’t the first time, he has made good hits and lost the pig. This one is really disappointing because he had a great set of cutters on him. I wasn’t there and didn’t track it, but tyler said he couldn’t find any blood.

The V before max is probably a pretty good indicator of the problem.

I can tell that my 6.8 doesn't quite drop them like my 308 but that said, i haven't had any issues with the 6.8. Maybe just an additional follow up shot every now and then and that's night hunting with a thermal scope. With a day time scope, I'd feel pretty sure to drop one in its tracks with the 6.8, especially with a head shot. I am shooting the Hornady 120 SST and like them a lot.
