750 YARD G HOG

Boyd Heaton · #1 09-03-2002, 10:08 AM

Butch,myself and my Father-in-Law Larry went to take care of a few chuck's last night.Butch and I got set up,and found a hog at 525 and one at 750....A few guy's I know stopped to see what we were doing.I showed them the hog and after some,(You can't hit that from here)talk.I spun the 13.8 min on Killer and let one fly.If he was an inch taller he would have been toast.I loaded another round and BINGO dead hog.Then I heard the,(I COULD HIT HIM FROM HERE TOO)line.....But of coarse they did'nt try.I have'nt seen the video yet but Butch said it looked real good.We also gave Butch's 270WSM a work out.For the first time out the WSM is showing ALOT of promise.We had as many as 6 hog's out at the same time.We are gonna have ALOT of fun later this week.There were 4 in one coner of the field but the clover is too high now..The farmer said he was cutting sometime this week....Will let everybody know how it goes............

I just love those hog-a-poppin stories!
Keep them coming.
Going to Tioga this weekend to try for the mile hog. 3 attemps this year but no success yet. Mostly bad wind and a bad rangefinder.
Good luck to you.

Hey,Shootin,how would someone like me get in on something like that?

There is no event. It's just a friend of mine and myself hunting on farmland off of bipods. There's no benches or anything like that. But if that's what your looking to get in on, we could probably work something out.

Hey Boyd, do you have access to a 1000 yrd range? I mean one with a bench and all. The fartherst I ever shot this monster of mine on paper was 500yds. And that was off of a truck hood with a 10 mph wind shaking the truck and enough mirage to move a 1.5" dot 1-2" It shot ok, 3.75". I didn't think it too bad considering the condition and all.
I would love to shoot off a decent bench at 1000 yrds sometime or at least 800.
