Well, I had two great hunts and no video because of a cable issue. ERRRRR!
The CBB 105s seemed to do very well. The first hog was a boar at my place in Forestburg, Texas that weighed 220 lbs. He came in downwind of me and was smelling the air and such and so I decided to take him immediately. DRT @ 125 yards. The shot entered the left side of the nose, traveling through the nasal sinuses (turbinal bones) and out the palate into the throat below the brain case and traveled through the neck into the thoracic cavity, missing the lungs but damaging the heart. It did not make it through the diaphragm. No bullet recovery. Going to have to buy a metal detector.
Hog #2 was killed in St. Jo, Texas. The first shot was at over 150 yards and entered behind the right scapula and traveled diagonally and exited further back on the rib cage, breaking ribs on entry and exit. The hog ran. Either Shot #2 or #3 missed and one connected, passing through the Achilles tendon of the left leg and striking the tibia on the right leg, breaking it, and then exiting. Shot #4 was a broadside shot as the hog ran and entered behind and just below the ear on left and exited about the same place on the right, passing through nothing but soft tissue/muscle tissue, making no contact with the cervical vertebrae or the skull. However, an apparent overpressure situation resulted and blood and other matter were ejected from the right ear.
