With less than 20 shots down the tube I finally got to go take care of a couple of problem hogs.
Last weekend I was able to sight in and get good data out to 600 yards. I’ve had problems with a couple of boar hogs tearing up feeders and feed pens, so I thought why not take the new rig and see how it works.
The first one showed up at 1st light, at about 80 yards. He was broadside, and I aimed center shoulder, right in the middle of his “shield”. He never knew what hit him, just bounced when he hit the ground.
The second one was a few hours later, but the distance was about 400 yards. Same aim point, same result, bounced when he hit the ground, not even a kick. 105 grains of H4895 pushing a .45 325 Pittman Aeromax at a little over 3100 FPS in an 18 twist Brux #17. Good practice for deer season coming up, getting rid of hogs, and getting excellent results from Kyle’s bullets.
