I think you've got your spending limits backwards as far as scope and rifle...

Am I just missing it? So what powder did you use?

My wife has killed quite a few with her trusty 22-250. She puts one right in their ear and down they go.

I agree with everyone who says hogs sometimes seem to have a sixth sense about when you're in the blind. We shot quite a few this last season but game cams clearly showed them consistently coming in soon after we'd leave the blind. What I've found that helps the most is to plan on shooting...

I'm still working up loads for my J.P. Sauer 6.5 PRC (it's a "Cherokee" model I found out BTW) but do have some data to share. I was fortunate enough to score a pound of RL-26 recently and did some ladder tests with it using my leftover Nosler 120 grain ballistic tips. For this rifle, 58.7...

New factory-sealed box of 500 Sierra Match King 30 cal 175 grain HPBT bullets. $150 plus cost of shipping if out of the Austin, Texas area.

You might be surprised. It all depends on how well you secure the barrel to the t-post. I lost several barrels my first few years because I underestimated how easily the hogs could snap a cable or chain once they get it bound up. The key is to make sure everything swivels and that your cable...

Check out my previous post on 'hog barrels'. We have had great results with these for many years. I would not however suggest adding any sticky liquids to the barrel as it will just clog up the holes with soggy, expanded corn...

Thanks. My next task is trying to figure out which model Sauer 100 this rifle is. It has a digital camo pattern and OD green barrel but the camo pattern doesn't match anything Sauer shows on their website. This one has tan in the pattern and none of the models they show have that color. I...

Does this scope have an illuminated reticle?

Does this scope have an illuminated reticle?

I'm not loading for the 6.5-06 anymore. I traded it back to the guy who built it 50 years ago in exchange for the PRC. I have several hundred rounds of the 120 Nosler BTs left over from loading for the 06 and would like to find a load in my new PRC that can use that light bullet.

Just acquired a Sauer 100 in 6.5 PRC and, since I still can't find RL26, went ahead and bought some Staball HD. I'm looking for anyone willing to share any load data/experience they might have with this powder and caliber. I have a bunch of 120gr Nosler BTs left over from my 6.5-06 I'd like to...

For the record, I had good customer service from them. When I bought my 4K Pro, they were running a special where you got a free, enhanced second illuminator, but when I got mine, I couldn't get the second illuminator to work. They quickly sent me a replacement, which worked fine. When I...

I had a 4K Pro for a while recently and it worked very well. I only used it one season then sold it though because I didn't like the night blindness you suffer after looking through the optic. It might be OK if you did all your 'scanning' by looking at an Ipad feed or something but after I...
