Todd, at that distance, the bullet had 2370 foot pounds of energy.
If you keep shooting the little ones, you gotta start aiming for the head/neck to save the meat. That's the first bullet that been recovered from that gun, all the others were thru n thru, even on a 300# hog. Good shooting, go whack another one in the morning!
Remember, at 200 Yds, just put the top of the lower fat post (duplex reticle) where you want the bullet to hit.
Here's a different Savage Muzzleloader, 30 Yds as well.
This one was about 60 Yds away and looking at me. She actually slid back a couple of inches and then dropped. I guess getting smacked with about a ton of energy and the slippery snow did it.
Here's a couple of hogs. My buddy shot the spotted one with a .44 Mag Handgun. They're in the bed of a full sized Chevy PU. It took 4 of us to get each one of them in the truck and it was a pretty heavy lift even after they were field dressed.
