OMG, the wood on that rifle! Sweet. Looks like that old piggy might BBQ up real good ... There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Congrats! Nice piggy. Where did you hit him? With the 9,3x74R I've not had them go very far ... but have purposefully shot them in the shoulder to put them down. Hate chasin' up wounded pigs.

The pig was shot here in Texas last month. He came it at 226, but was WAY too musky and stunk way too much to want to eat. Pigs make for good practice and are excellent for testing bullets. I had a 470 Woodleigh not fully penetrate a 220 lb hog from broad-side, and I've also seen a 470, 500 gr North Fork CP that didn't go from end-to-end on a frontal shot pig that probably weighed 150. Pigs are tough on bullets. | |||

Good shooting,nice pig. Next time try striping out the backstraps. They are great on the grill.

CHris- Posts liken this make me very impatient for my 400. Good work on the hog, and a very attractive rifle. "Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand." 470 Heym; 9.3x74r Chapuis, Heym 450/400 on it's way | |||

Chris: You inspired me to take my .450/.400 Searcy down to 1115's (Dale Bundy) farm a few miles from my home. A 60 pound sow (perfect eater!) jumped up at 40 yards, right as I was walking into a oak hammock. I put a 400 grain Woodleigh right in the bung hole. DRT. Dale and I took the hog to a black gentleman's house who is 82 years old. He has worked for Dale's family for over 60 years and still busts his hump everyday in the piney woods even though he's been retired about 100 times... he just won't quit. Anyway, we found him not home because, according to his neighbor, he was "courting" a 20 year-old just down the road. I'm buying whatever he's taking. Anyway, Chris, thanks for giving me the inspiration to get off my butt and get in the woods.. and thanks to Dale's employee for another kind of inspiration. JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||
