JM: thanks for info, might start with h4895. Chas

R26 seems too slow burning for the M1A, probably will stick with R16 or R17 or H4350, but keep any info coming.. Chas

thanks Tidy, will be very careful, don't want a bent op rod.. Chas

can I shoot it first?

Just acquired a M1A in 6.5 CM, 130gr Barnes tsx to start reloads. rel 16,17, or imr, h4350 for powder. Any suggestions?? Chas

I have had minimal success with barnes 120gr & 100gr tsx for my 6.5 Grendel, groups from .5 to 1.5 with both weight bullets, flyers often.. I now have a M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor, starting off with factory Hndy 120gr gmx, which is light for the Creedmoor, then to handloads, Lapua brass and 130gr...

4fun: My question is what is the typical distance you come across these guys at Tejon? any where from 10 ft to hundreds of yards. That big one was shot with a 7mm mag from an unknown distance, but the shooter has leg damage and couldn't stalk too far. I've shot them from 200 yds and less...

Wood: didn't join spring season this year, pulled my trailer out. but will be back next deer season. will be in as a guest in 2 or 3 wks tho. good luck, lots of pigs. area 18 member. Chas USCGr CWO4 (ret)

woody: Not sure, but he used a 7mm mag, with 150 gr Barnes hand load.

I would say "hog tie" the hog first, then shoot from 1 ft. I've been almost runover and heard teeth gnashing from a poorly placed shot with something alot bigger than a .22 mag. Chas

Member Tom shot the piggie, used a pickup bed mounted winch to load. I think he took to a butcher near Bakersfield Ca. Chas

Ca hunter: try hunttejon.com for socal hunts. I am a member of a lease with a lot of pigs on it. kinda exensive, but ??? Chas

I passed this little piggie up, too big. One of the members was really hungry. Chas

thumper: Good luck, I have a trailer in area 18, give a shout when you will be there, maybe get together. Chas
