Bushmeister, it went through the shield on the left side of his neck, pretty much made a mess of the interior, and then lodged in the shield of the right side. I recovered two fragments of the bullet, and I'll shoot a photo of those and put it here shortly. That shield looked to be about an inch thick when I watched them skinning the hog, so when you consider that TexasSheepDog has shot through 3/8 inch steel with a .450b and yet it couldn't penetrate two layers of inch thick shield, those hogs are tough muthers.
I captured the shot on my iPhone, so I can see that he did not take another step at all, but just went right down where he stood. I think all hogs will kick for about a minute after they are already dead, and he did that with his hind legs a little bit, but there was none of this running around, chasing blood trails, squealing or anything like that. A nice, humane and quick kill. I doubt that he had a chance to even take a breath before he was standing at the pearly gates asking permission to enter.
I'm putting together a complete video of the whole thing and will make that available in a while.
