[QUOTE="41mag, post: 105084, member: 3804"] Yep, it gonna be hard to keep taking that thing out to the country and shooting pigs with it, but I think in time I will just have to accept it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That is the second outing with the Wildcats, the first was a boar, bout the same size as that first sow pictured here. THe bullet was the 257 - 130gr bonded core flatbase. The shot was about 75 yds and hit point on, the left shoulder blade, and exited through the whole right ribcage. The hog, at the shot, did a complete back flip and that was that. Needles to say, when you can flip a 150# hog end over backwards, your dumping some serious energy.
