Now that's doin' quite alright.  She should be nice and tasty and it looks like that was a really good shot.  I do enjoy shooting the faster or heavier 32 caliber slugs, but mostly from a bottlenecked pistol cartridge and now that people can see how they perform we might be seeing more pictures here.

Veral Smith said one of his European customers drilled a 400 lb boar through both shoulders with 120 gr LBT bullet over a load of H 110. I believe (this is all iirc) that the stated velocity was 1500 fps. Couple other old wise men think the cartridge is underrated and that those that dismiss it may be demonstrating contempt prior to investigation.  Not uncommon in the gun world, me thinks.
Now if Ruger made a SP 101 with real adjustable sights and a 4'' barrel, they would be on to a sane platform-cartridge combination. Or use the medium Blackhawk frame if you lean to SA guns.  I have the 4" SP 101 with S&W rear sight in 32 H&R and the Blackhawk in 327 and that thing is huge.  Are 2 extra holes for extra capacity or to keep the weight down?  They didn't make the 44 specials on that big frame, so why put the 327 in it? No way that it wouldn't work as well or better than the 357 on the medium frame either.

Good shooting! If you were aiming at the point of the shoulder at that angle and hit at the ear that means that's a pretty accurate load. I was once attempting a head shot on a sow with a .22 Mag rifle and she moved as I shot. The bullet struck her shoult(piglet), due to angle,  and went through it's heart/lung area, breaking the out-going leg. It squealed, ran a few circles and died. Cooked it whole on the BBQ and it was great eating. Point is, angles are everything. Congrats........ that's a good eatin' size hog.

Those shoat`s are hard to beat for good eating ! The best one I ever had went about 35-40 lbs and was smoked using pecan wood. Talk about tender and good!!

The piglet we BBQ'd was about 15 lbs and very tender. The land owner would charge for a big hog but piglets were unlimited and free. Pecan wood? I might need to try that. I think we used Mesquite.

Second hog this one a Boar, pulled camera card when I got to lease to turkey hunt again...hogs were coming every eveing at 7:30pm to protein feeder. So turkey hunted until 7pm then slipped in and setup about 25yds downwind of feeder. This boar came in at 7:35pm...bullet sure tries to hit where laser is shinning! 1st shot (27yds) hit behind shoulder but he was quartering away it broke back shoulder he went down flippin and floppin, so I went up close and put a 2nd one in head.
