Got to hunt hogs on a colleague's ranch between Austin and San Antonio last weekend. Took my 35 Krag Handi Rifle and Hog Stopper hand loads: an Old West Molds baked clone of the Lyman 358009 at 280 grs over 4895 at about 1700 Fps.
Had to make a snap shot, because I was gawping slack jawed instead of calmly assessing and, while I was sure I hit this big boar, his reaction suggested a poor shot: little twitch and then a turn and run. Just as I feared I'd have some tracking to do, he dropped, kicked three or four times and died. Happily, right on a little track, so we were able to chain him up and drag him back for a weigh in: 540 lbs.
Love this bullet (sadly not cast by me) in the 35 Krag!
