Had a few days to head out west to try my new muzzleloader on some wild hogs. I was lucky enough to connect on a big spotted pig about 130 yards out with a 250 grain barnes sabot.

The ending result was a hog DRT. The only downside was the way I was twisted for the shot the scope bit me a little, whats no pain without any gain!

I recovered the bullet after processing the hog, 82% weight retention through a shattered shoulder bone without a pass through, looks like the barnes did what it needed to do.

Nice Hog!!
I smell BACON!!! LOL
What kind of load did you use? That looks like pretty good performance by the Barnes.

Im in Wichita Falls, where are you from Staley?

Eterry


Good luck and good shooting.

Thanks I used 2 pellets of 777 from a TC Impact. I'm from Nocona, but hunt out in Knox County.

I went to high school in Bowie, and have known Elton Teague for more years than I care to recall. He worked the stock on my 416 Taylor, the man is a true artist.

Ha! Ha! That is God's punishment for putting a scope on a muzzle loader!

Big hog!

What a nice hog!! I had the "scope bite" problem too.

Here's how I fixed it. I put a comb riser kit on my Omega and it solved my problem. Here's the link:

Hope this helps.
