Well, after several days of keeping the wife from taking a nap with my shooting in the back yard, I have met with success with my 240 gc Lee 44 mag bullets!!!
You guys helped me figue out what my Marlin rifle liked and last nite I put some hate and discontent in the lives of 3 hogs on my father's ranch. The bulets worked perfectly! Lots of damage, fair accuracy, bone crushing power. Perfect for short range hogs, wich is what i wanted this thing for!! I am so happy with the results, I couldnt wait to post here and thank everyone. A kinder bunch of gentlemen I havent found and i am proud to be a part of yall's world. Thanks again.

By the way, hog 1 - 180 lbs broadside shoulder shot.. bullet exited
hog 2 - 225 lbs broadside high ribs, 2 bullets 1 recovered under hide broken in .5 hog 3 - 145 lbs 1 shot center of neck, bullet exited

BBQ'ing next weekend, guess what's for dinner (hint: it aint cat!)

LOL I understand. We dont have a hog problem here yet. Our deer season bow opener was Friday. It is deer season until Early Jan for us. Deer, rabbit, and squirrel are about the only thongs I hunt for any way. Thanks for the offer to swap hunts, but there isnt alot here to make it worth while for you to come here.

Yo, Ed; I'm half Smith (mother's father, father's mother were Smiths), and everyone knows two Ed's are better than one (my given name is also Ed), so I may be contacting you regarding hog-shooting in the spring.
