Hog with cast

[Lefty SRH]

I dont want to hear the debate about waste. When it come to MY health (and my wife, brucellosis can be passed to your partner) the risk of contracting brucellosis....there is no debate! Yes, I know its not limited to just hogs, they carry lots of other really bad stuff too. Its my choice!
These hogs are on private property and are considered private property problems by the state of Alabama!
When I hunt other edible wild game they are not wasted.

We killed lots of hogs on Big Daddy’s ranch in the hill country. Never touched a one, the risk of disease is too great. Same for all the hogs we kill in Florida. Kill them and kill some more. Never ending varmint it seems.

I can't say I blame you. I wouldn't try to eat it either. Pork doesn't cost that much in the supermarket.

Store bought just Doesn’t taste as good to me. Got to cook it for a long time to be sure and kill off any bad stuff that might have gotten in them.

Good shooting. And nice gun have one almost like it but in 44.

And don’t worry about the orphaned piglets. They’re probably already breeding by now.:-/

[Abert Rim]

Nicely done. I'll pick up my stainless 5.5 inch Bisley in .45 Colt tomorrow.
While I understand that hogs are totally invasive in TX, MO and other states, I'd love to take a couple of 60-pounders to dress, BBQ and or smoke. Only reason I would travel to the Lone Star state next door and pay for the chance to hunt them. Not interested in killing -- interested in meat. That's just me. I know that many if not most are fed to the coyotes and buzzards.

They can drop litters at eight months.

Lefty SRH, do you have a picture of the bullet type you used? Forgive my ignorance, I don't know what a penta point is.

[Lefty SRH]

Penta is a 5 star shaped shallow hollow point. Its a MiHa mold
Ill post something for you Rich

[DougGuy]

Texas Governor Abbot just this week signed a bill where you don't need a license to kill hogs. When the state starts paying a bounty on them, lots of things will change, you will see an even more concerted effort to corral them up by entire sounders and dispose of them.

Good shooting LeftySRH! The absolute best tamale I ever had was javelina, down in Texas of course..

[Abert Rim]

Doug, you don't say? Javelina? I have heard so many bad things about the meat that I haven't considered hunting them.

Nice! I'll probably just use a Kieth style bullet when I get around to deer hunting with the .45, but that thing sure likes it would get the job done.

That’s a nice looking hollow point !

[Smoke4320]

Congrats on collecting a field plow. Kill all you can

[Lefty SRH]

The pin to make the penta hollow point usually come with the MiHa molds.

[nagantguy]

Nice revolver- great shot also love my MIha penta hp molds have them in a few flavors, 452, 431 and 360. Sized proper they feed lots of rifles and pistols and revolvers around here.

[Schreck5]

Yep, never could understand that kind of reasoning.

[JAC43]

Lefty, your HP bullets look great! Can you share any tips for casting with this mold? Pot temp, mold prep, etc?

[Tripplebeards]

Did it tip right over when shot?
