I recently had to kill a dog with my Ruger .40 cal., The dog was about 35 lbs. I shot the dog 6 times with hollow points before it was all over. All critical shots. About 3 months later I had to shot another wild dog, about 60 lbs. (Very Big Dog). CZ 52, FMJ , same range, one shot, non lethal area. It was over in 3 seconds.
I dont know if this helped contribute to the hunting post, however the amazing power of the 7.62 X 25 is amazing to me. I have upgraded almost every part I can at this point and it is my EDC.
