Holy HOGS!!!! That is a devastating round on those things!! Nice going!! BANG BANG!!
Strange world of the piglet. You are walking around, grabbing a bite to eat, then for no apparent reason, your buddy flies into pieces...

Excellent. Like most conscientious hunters, it was a little weird for me when I first started hunting hogs. Not eating everything you kill, using sophisticated electronics, shooting the little ones....
After years of trying to push them off the property and seeing the damage they do, I don't have a problem watching the little ones go splat because I know they are only a few months away from breeding.

I wonder about something. We ask bullet makers to design/build us "6.8 specific" bullets, because the .270 bullets are too long for our AR platform use, or the 6.8 round's capacity just doesn't provide enough speed to allow the .270 bullet to perform as designed. So, based upon specs obtained from SAAMI, bullet makers design/build us bullets to perform at 6.8 velocities. On the flip side, we're using guns which are non-typical (in capabilities) to the 6.8. We're not shooting SAAMI spec'd chambers/rifling. And, we're squeezing (consistently) more velocity from the 6.8. Some are not seeing good results from their reloading efforts. Enter the .277 Wolvie. Since it uses a 5.56 casing, it will inherently be a "little brother" due to capacity/speed development. However, with good specs, the performance is there... probably pushing a 6.8 pill at 6.8 SAAMI speeds. Result? Fine bullet performance.
My point? If we see less than favorable bullet performance, before blaming the bullet, maybe try loads at a lower velocity accuracy node and see if we see an improvement in bullet performance.
Good whackage there, making pig-bombs.

That was a great video. Good blasting. Man you like those wildcat Calibers.
That was as impressive as blowing them up with tannerite. Nice going.

RD, you are correct. The 277 Wolverine comes close to the 6.8 in performance. Those 85gr e-tip's are going 2650fps out of my 12.5" barrel. Last time I took that 208 pound sow with a shoulder shot and 20 yard recovery.
The e-tip didn't shoot that great out of my 6.8, but the 277 likes them.
