.243 for hogs?

[theodore]

Yes, they have armor plate out around the chest/shoulder. Not exactly sure where at but it is tougher hide than any other big game out there.

243 are capable of.... It all depends on the bullet selection and shot placement.

So its been three months and did you get any hogs?

[esshup]

Unfortunately, no. We saw 3 in one group the first day, all boars and about 200# each, and neither of us were even looking for them. The gun was back at the cabin. (as he whacks his forhead with his palm.....) They were about 250 Yds away, and as soon as they saw the truck they disappeared, never to be seen again. I didn't think the 17 HMR would do it at that distance.
