Hog bonanza!! |

|
Last season was the first year that we have seen a huntable |
|
population of wild hogs in our neck of the woods in years. Dad |
|
and I both saw several, and I bounced a 125 grain soft point 357 |
|
magnum round off of the skull of one the size of a VW bus. |
|
Anyway, I bought a box of Winchester RXT Razorback rounds in |
|
.223 the other day. It's a 64 grain protected hollow point with |
|
some strange looking bevels on it. I was wondering what you |
|
fellas thought about using a .223 for boar. I've always been |
|
told that in the ear is the place to put a round, and I know |
|
that my great grandfather (as well as many others) has killed |
|
them with a .22 long rifle, but what do you consider to be the |
|
best hog hunting round? Also, what do you think about shot |
|
placement? In the ear? The base of the neck? Behind the |
|
shoulder? Everywhere I go I see different opinions, just |
|
wondering what has worked for folks around here. |

I've shot hogs with 22 mags, 7 mag and my shotgun. They all got |
|
the job done. Head shots to me are the best but behind the front |
|
shoulder works find for long range big rifles. My old hunting |
|
partner gave a m1 30 carbine this summer can't to try it out. |

Sounds like it's all good stuff. A good friend of mine just got |
|
an M1 Carbine from his grandfather, been itching to go shoot it. |

You need to watch that guy Jagerpro on YouTube. This cat |
|
erraticates the crap out hogs. Don't know what rifle he is using |
|
but it's no joke. |
|
All the guys I see hunting hogs, use 22 mags most of the time. |
|
They take head shots around the ear region and I even seen I guy |
|
splitting them between the eyes. |

Looks like a .308 in this video. That Remington 25 is a sweet |
|
gun. |

And of course, this is one of my personal favorite videos. If |
|
any of you has a helicopter laying around, I'll bring the guns |
|
and ammo! |

Man, I'm gonna have to start reloading. Those TSX bullets are |
|
$30 bucks a box, but for 30 bucks I can buy 50 projectiles, and |
|
I have a closet full of brass. |
