The last shot was a mere feet away. A bullet to the neck and she lay down and died. There was virtually zero reaction to every shot. This was maybe a 100# animal. I recovered 6 of the bullets and all expanded well and were in the lung, neck area. Also shot a 28# javalina using hot loaded 200 grain Speer hollow point bullets. At 10 yards a single lung shot caused him to run into the brush, only to return and take a second hit down the throat. Off he ran into the brush and was found @ 50 yards away. And yet I still sleep with a 45 ACP in a holster that is screwed to my bed post, for 40 plus years.
