Head shot on hog...does bullet type matter?
Here is the entire question. This load is for hunting hogs and punching holes in paper. Only head shots will be taken, shots to be placed right behind the ear. I have a very accurate load using Sierra MK bullets. I know these are not recommended hunting rounds for traditional heart/lung shots. But I am planning on stirring up grey matter with this load, so should I worry about the SMK doing the job I need it to?
I have used factory ammunition for hogs and every time I hit them behind the ear they drop immediately. My theory is the most accurate load will be the best since I am not relying on bullet expansion to kill the animal. Thanks in advance,
Joe

I've had great results with 168 gr Hornady A-Max's with head shots. I think your SMK's will do fine.
Just remember, it never hurts to shoot them twice.
