Success in West Virginia

[WSMDRT]

My son and I were in "Hog Haven" with guide Josh at Hog Haven in Kenna, WV. Got us right on the hogs and great with a first time hunter. Great to be right there with him for his first kill. Accommodations on site for the family(wife and daughter had fun hanging together while son and I hunted). Questions welcomed.

Congrats on a great hunt! You both should be proud! Those cheshire grins say everything!

This is LRH, so we need to know. Rifle platform? load data? bullet? range?

Rifle is a Aero Precision upper and lower, Luth-AR stock, 20" BCA barrel in 243 Win. Tuned adjustable gas block and JP silent capture spring take care of much of the recoil. Mild load for more recoil management 33gr Varget with 90gr Hornady ELD-X. Hits the target with Sightron S-Tac 4-20 MOA-2 reticle in Burris P.E.P.R. mount. Using BOG death grip to support the rifle when prone is not an option.

My long range steel smacking load is the 108 ELD-M. But of everything I have this is what he wanted to use so we got a more sturdy bullet and tuned load for recoil and accuracy.

Hog Haven also deals in rams so we will likely be back again to try our luck on some corsicans, texas dall or black Hawaiians.
