I got to go on my 1st hog hunt yesterday. Naturally I took my 300 blkout. I built the gun myself its a PSA lower with ALG trigger and PSA parts kit. Upper is a PSA with a 16" DB barrel. (got thru this site). carbine length gas system, Magpul MOE furniture and a Nikon Prostaff 5 3x9 BDC scope. He was a big boy around 200 lbs. I shot him from about 50yrds away. I used 130gr hog hammer. I hit him right around the shoulder he took a few steps and dropped. No second shot was required. I was super happy with the guns performance and won't hesitate to use it the next time I go. 2 others I was hunting with both took down hogs also one used a 30-30 and the other a 308. Both hogs required a 2nd bullet behind the ear to finish them off. Their initial shot placements were similar to mine. Not sure what bullets they were using. I was glad that mine was a fast clean kill. Cant wait for the next trip.

Congrats!
When you get more comfortable hog hunting you can do the ear hole shot and never worry about them running.
I always recommend the ear hole shot because tracking hogs into thick thorny brush, or mud, or worse tracking one that is not so dead is not my idea of fun

Nice Bacon !
I was very impressed by the Hog Hammer ammo during deer season.
Going to be trying it on hogs in the next month or so as soon as I can get away.
