Yes, but the fact that a .270 won't exit made me realize that my .223 was way under gunned. Thats why I'm moving up to a 30-30 as my night hunting gun.

And I would really rather have an exit wound. Hogs bleed very little as it is. An exit would would double my sucess in tracks in the event of a run off.
