John, That was actually a Core-Lock I shot that hog with. I realized that is the box of shells I grabbed later on. It went in behind the right ear and came out thru the left ear. I did not take a pic of the exit, but lets just say you could have shoved a golfball thru the hole

I believe the Rem. Core-Locks are what I've been shooting in my .243, and what dad uses in his .270. I've killed 3 deer with them, my dad killed a dozen or more with the rifle before giving it to me. Same box of 20 shells, probably close to 25 years old now! We keep them in an air-tight box up at camp with dessicant, and last time I was there we had 3 left in the box. A friend once made me a couple of boxes of handloads with soft-point boattails, very similar ballistically to the Core-Locks, and I used them for sighting in.
Of the 3 deer I killed, the first was facing me at 135+yards, and I put it right through his sternum, through his heart, and it stayed inside him somewhere. He ran about 60 yards somehow. When we gutted him his heart was in about 100 pieces.
The other 2 were both enter-behind-one-shoulder-exit-in-front-of-other-shoulder shots, dropped in their tracks. I can't complain, 'cause the bullet went where I aimed it and the deer dropped. Works as advertised!
