Complete penetration of two hogs! That is serious business for sure!! Approximately how far was the first hog? How much space between the two? What elevation are you shooting from?
Congrats sir on a fine feat.

shot distance approximately 12 yards 0 elevation I was in a ground blind space between the 2 a couple of feet both broadside biggerone received the 535 gr bullet first he went about 20 yards the smaller one dropped in its tracks. could not find the bullet
 
I've done that by accident on deer, which is no real surprise. But a pair of hogs is the real test of penetration.
Agreed (based on my reading, never shot a hog as they are not natural up here), my understanding of the mud, then hide, then overlapping large ribs followed by tissue, back through the overlapping ribs, hide, mud and repeat with a now somewhat deformed slug. Tell me again how muzzleguns can’t get it done!!

Neither hog was a giant, the bigger boar maybe 150, the smaller hog closer to 100 lbs. if you stay off the shoulder and limit shots to no higher than 1/3 of the way up you can avoid the callous around the sholder area. most people call it armour but in all reality it is just a thick callous they've gotten from rubbing and fighting the bigger one was a perfect heart shot as you can see from mthe left side all of the blood when it fell a massive pool of blood. this boar went 20 yards with no heart the small hog dropped in his tracks. had they been 200 lbs id never tried the shot. but knowing they were smaller animals I wanted to see what a 535 grain .54 bullet would do. out of my 50 the 600 grain no excuse has penetrated 2 hogs several times
 
Both look like hog gangsters. Two with one bullet; that's the very definition of "frugal".

A duck hunting acquaintance calls a "twofer" a "Scotch Double". He was Scottish and so am I, however I only have one Scotch double with witnesses. A couple of others with no witnesses and none that involved hogs.

Very impressive Howie.:thumb:
