"...had a 30-30. All he could get was a shot at the top of its head, and the 30-30 didn’t penetrate the skull."

I find that hard to believe.

I have seen 30-30’s not penetrate boar skulls from the top also. In one instance I saw a 30-30 at 300 yeads not penetrate a boar's rib cage with three shots. I took him out with a 7x57 Mauser. The three 30-30 rounds were stuck in the ribs with one stuck in the bone. This was a 300 pound pig with tusks and a bad attitude in Kalifornia.
