Good afternoon gents.
I've convinced myself to get a 7 PRC. But...
Reading on other forums it seems that there are some inconsistencies in the chamber dimensions of some rifles which can lead to case bulging above the head and causing and issue with sticking cases. Some are calling it 'click'...
I guess I was expecting something a bit more dramatic. Don’t know why.
The sow dropped right where I shot her, so all’s we’ll that ends well.

I got a 200lb (ish) feral pig over the weekend.
Shot her in dense cover at about 20 paces with a 165 grain Accubond in a 308.
The entrance was just between the left ear and left shoulder. About an inch lower than my point of aim. Forgot that my line of sight would be higher than the bullet...
I have a Remington SPS Tactical in .308 with a 20” barrel. 1-10 twist, I believe.
It shoots really good with 168 grain Hornady Match HPBT.
I’ve taken an antelope with it using a 168 grain Amax. But I’m going after pigs, and I worry the Amax may not be up to the job.
What do you guys...
I really like my SP101. .357 Mag.
I call it my little flame thrower. If I miss my target at close range, it'll still catch on fire.
I have a S&W 442 that sees a lot of carry time. It's a handful to shoot with the old Buffalo Bore FBI loads.

Take them both.
I don't see that the difference lies with the rifles and their respective cartridges.
It looks to me like you have more confidence in the RUM because of the optics. Put a similar scope on the .270 and increase your confidence to 100%.

I won't know exactly until I get the official notice, but I'm confident that it's a muzzleloader mule deer tag, in the Pine Valley unit.
I'll be using my T/C Pro Hunter.

Anyone hunting in Utah this year?
My cc got hit for a nonresident deer tag fee. Looks like I got to get in shape for hunting...

I uninstalled and reinstalled, now it's working. Maybe now it will notify me for subscribed topics, too.
Sorry to be a bother.
Tapatalk is nice for accessing forums with a phone, when it works properly.

Nicely written article. I'm a bit bummed, though. I wanted a 338 RUM :/ Oh well, can't afford one anyway.
What's funny is that for every article like this, there's another saying the opposite.
What JD338 said is the bottom line, though. Doesn't matter what you shoot if you don't hit what...
I'm not sure. We're checking dates available the first 2 weeks of August.
He told me all I have to do is buy a plane ticket to Anchorage and he'll cover the rest.
We'd be going after salmon and halibut, I think.

Nice pictures!
My older brother just invited me on an Alaskan fishing trip. I'm super excited. I didn't think I would ever get to experience something like that.

One of the reasons that I don't reload more, is because of my difficulty in load development.
I need an inexpensive, portable shooting platform.
What do you guys use?
