I have killed pigs while still hunting, over baits and just sitting in a field waiting for them to come out and start rooting it up. Allen hit a lot of the high points. Their vision is lousy but their nose and ears are very sharp. Shot them 20 yards to a bit over 150.
I am happy with any rifle...
I picked up a 7mm 08 last summer, 21 inch tube. Had some Win 760 to use up and 46 gr with a 139 Horn IB got me a tick over 2800 over the screens. With good groups. Increasing the charges only opened the groups so I stuck with the 2800 load. Shot 3 deer with it and none of them noticed it was...
Thank you. I will consider it. I have a perfectly good Bowtech 380 but have thought about a Ravin for a while.
You mention you would drive a bit to deliver, what part of the country do you hail from? I am currently in FL but will be in PA in a couple months.
I have a 9.3x62 with a 20 inch barrel. It performs quite well. Have not loaded a lot for it but had no trouble building a load with the 235 Oryx that was mid 2600's with RL15. And that was not a max load either. Loads that top 2400 are easy with 286's and Big Game.
I have one of these little gems in stainless. It is my favorite revolver. I handload 240 grain cast semi wad cutters to about 875 fps from the 3 inch barrel for a very accurate and powerful load that does not have excessive recoil or muzzle blast. It rides real nice on your hip too!
They are...
