joined yesterday and just saw i should intro myself. been |
|
shooting ghogs for 12+years since they destroyed my attempts at |
|
gardening in this area of tenn. i grew up in sc and we didn't |
|
have ghogs, so i had to learn about the pest. had a good |
|
teacher and took to the "sport" instantly. i have moderate |
|
OCD(obsessive compulsive disorder)...the good kind. if i get |
|
into something, i must excell and ghog shooting and |
|
reloading(handloading) came naturally. i have a local gunsmith |
|
who makes my guns. i shoot .17 hmr to a .458 win mag. the |
|
later is for any rogue elephants. i read and listen to |
|
everything the benchresters do and that quest for a VERY small |
|
one hole group is achieved regularly...i DO NOT LIKE TO MISS A |
|
GHOG! i work up loads slowly and usually find the one holer |
|
early. i like the higher bcs of match bullets, so i have been |
|
hollowpointing these bullets and evaluating their terminal |
|
ballistics...match bullets will make a small entry and small |
|
exit and the varmint can escape to die later. the hollow points |
|
EXPLODE and most ghogs are drt(dead right there) and often not a |
|
drop of blood. i use a ballistic table and have killed ghogs |
|
at 532 yds. learning to read the wind is my biggest challenge. |
|
killed one at 300 yds with a 3 foot hold into the wind!!! the |
|
pigs are sleeping now, so i'm working up loads and making a new |
|
gun and collecting new landowners who want me to get at their |
|
ghogs. enjoy this site! |
