Hogs off the porch

Just before dark today, my wife looked out the front door to watch deer under our feeder - she was excited to see about 20 hogs . . . "Troy! Get 2 guns!"

So I hand her her Encore in .358 Win (we haven't yet sighted in her .375 Ruger) and I grab my 9,3x62 . . . she says "you shoot the black one, I'll shoot the white one" . . . we slip out onto the porch and on the count of "3", we let them have it.

She was the first down to the feeder (I was looking for my ejected brass) and she spots a mass of piglets and she fires again before they all run off for good.

Now for the sausage-making fest next weekend!

Great job! What ammo are you using in the 9.3x62?
