I have killed hogs at close range with a Head Shot from my Ruger Single Six .22 Mag in the past.
Yesterday, we Butchered a Russian Boar, that had been trapped, castrated, and fed out.
My Son Killed him with a Cheap RG 66 with a 4 inch barrel and federal .22 Magnum hollowpoints.
When skinning the hog, we found the bullet. It passed through the hogs head, and lodged in the skin on the exit side.
The bullet was prestene, not deformed at all.
I figured the hollow point would have expanded when it punched through the skull, but it didnt. It killed the hog, but at 6 feet, did not expand.
Why would this be?
