[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1246479, member: 55410"] Went out with buddies last night to hunt hogs in Montague County, north Texas. I served as the backup and secondary shooter, James being the primary. We got onto hogs 3 times. We shot at 5 hogs. We killed 5 hogs. The bonus riders were 9 on board with a 270 lb sow James shot and 4 more on a 210 lb sow I shot. After we parted, company, James managed to take a coyote as well. James was shooting a Reap-IR on his 6.8 and really likes it. I got to look through it for a bit and was impressed with how will it performs. I am not sure about the non-specific S&B poly tip ammo he was shooting, however. I was using a Sig Sauer Echo 1 on a .50 Beowulf, shooting some Hornady FTX 300 gr. bullets (1900 fps) that performed well. I had spent the morning checking out 5 different loads and the FTX was the best option to hunt with last evening. It did some significant damage and put down the hogs despite one of the shots being too high. Here is the video. It is a bit long, but has 3 separate hunts. I am putting together a followup video on the terminal ballistics, hopefully up and running tomorrow. Warning: Some butchery and piglet fetuses shown. [ame]https://youtu.be/EVhBGP7Hzsw[/ame] [/QUOTE]
