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.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

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.
