[RUFFIAN R - NY]

That'll work

Hog light on feeder. Challenge yourself 22 with a can about an inch below the ear. Do double taps each shot.

Last I checked - dead is dead.

True

 

[shootski]

E = MC(2)

M is Mass, C is Velocity (which is squared).

So, if we double Mass we double Energy.

If we double C, Velocity, we QUADRUPLE Energy as Velocity is squared.

Velocity of course dwindles over time/distance which of course Mass does not.

None of which takes any consideration of factors such as Sectional Density, Frontal Area, bullet composition and construction, etc...which transfer energy to the target.

Now, break out the pitchforks and torches! Let the carnage begin!

F=MA is the correct equation

C is the speed of light..........Wrong equation.

Power. Lower and slower just like ya cook one

 

[RockyMtnMT]

Quickly dead more often is better than just dead. Dead is dead is certainly correct. How it dies makes a big difference.

 

[Mtn squirrel]

Just me I would take one that runs slower but hits like a train where it needs to be

Haven't seen hogs since January…
Guess they're back!
Now to decide if I wanna smack 'em with Power or Speed?

Have shot a few on bagging area of wheat paddock. All went down with good shot placement from 222Rem Magnum. Bullets 52gn J4 Jackets, didn't lose any meat. Shot others with 243 Winchester but some loss of useable meat.

Hundreds of elephants died with a 160 gr 6.5 at 2500
Accuracy trumps all

Karamojo Bell didn't list the ones that were wounded and escaped! But, he did lay down a ton of Ele with his 6.5x55. O'Connor used a 270 for almost everything and nobody gives that round much thought anymore.

I have shot Cape Buffalo with 416 Rem, 460 Wby and 470 NE. The 460 Wby was the only one that gave me difficulty on one buff hit well. Go figure. I know people who have shot a semi-load of African dangerous game with a 308, so, kind of makes you wonder why we punish ourselves w the big bores.

I have a load for a 17Cal
18gr @ 5040 FPS…
Tempting…
