Here are a few of the many kills the 120gr MKZ is racking up, I am continually impressed with this bullet.

I'm sure its a good bullet, but mostly I'm just seeing 'good shot placement'.

I.E. if you hit a hog in the neck or high shoulder with ANY reasonable bullet, you get good stops/kills more often than not.

Lacking a Necropsy of each hog....its hard to know whether or not this bullet outperformed a competitor (with identical shot placement) or not, but if the recovered bullet is indicative of bullet expansion and weight retention, I'd have to say it looks like a winner.

But from the video alone....I just see good shooting.

Some were good shots, some were center gut shots, a couple were rear end "Texas heart shots" these bullets are performing very well. The recovered bullet show at the engine was a Texas heart shot that went the entire length of a 200 pound boar and stuck in the hair just behind his neck! I've tried a lot of bullets the have surpassed most by a long ways.

With a well placed bullet, a 300+ lb boar drops like a bag of rocks. My daughter (age 9 at the time of the video) proved this point many years ago with a well placed shot with a 55 gr .223. She shoots at about the 1:30 mark of my shaky home made video. And she tells us where she was aiming at about the 3:25 mark.
