I have an identical scope on my 35 Whelen.

Man that's impressive... I could probably kill two or three pigs at a time with that.

I tested some 250's in my 338 and posted results here : viewtopic.php?f=52&t=29600

I've been playing with the sierra game changers in my short barreled 7-08.. It has never been particularly accurate, but groups them quite well.

I have proven the 270 deepcurls will hammer hogs from the 444.. Had the opportunity to test one on a whitetail last season as well. The shot was approx 80 yards. I placed it low and centered in the chest. The bullet was recovered right next to the bladder. zero meat damage. Deer did run about 75...

The 44 Cal section is slow, so I'll post some results from last year. I like the 270 deepcurl shot out of the 444 Marlin so much that I bought some harvester sabots and now load them for my 50 cal muzzle loader. http://www.harvestermuzzleloading.com I have had good luck with the accuracy and...

I loaded these for my father in a .243.. He gave the pig population hell with them for awhile.

Thats what happened here.. with the 300 grainers viewtopic.php?f=61&t=37491

Fotis, I have not chrono'ed it.. it is 47 grains of RL-7. We walked the grove last night.. It was very exciting.. Had a slew of piglets walk within 3 yards of us.. We sat and listened to them grunt as they walked thru the grove.. then we heard them run into a larger hog and scatter.. We...

If I can do my part, I'm confident in the speer deepcurl..

My buddy called me last night and told me he saw approx 60 hogs in the grove across the street. I have been working 72 hour weeks and have not had a chance to put the 270 deep curl on paper yet.. BUT, I ran home at lunch today and ripped off a three shot group. They are certainly minute of pig...

That's a wooley booger with some serious cutters

I'm still holding Scotty's 444 Marlin hostage trying to get him to come to Florida to shoot some hogs with me. Every now and again I have to rub it in a little just to fan the flames.. I have a local friend who has been telling me that he has a HUGE hog in the orange grove across the street...

I think it is both. When shooting a thin skinned animal like a whitetail deer that is standing perfectly broadside, most any bullet on the market will get the job done. When we step up to a larger, thicker bodied quarry, success can be defined by your bullet choice. I test bullets because I am...

My good buddy 280 Remington was cordial enough to let me camp at his home this year for a few days. I'm an east coaster and have never hunted mule deer and it didn't take him long to put me in the thick of things. I had two tags so I filled this one on the first afternoon and then decided to...
