Well Gang I was Pleasantly surprised by the Performance of the Ranch Dog 350 Gr in my Marlin 1895GS in 45-70 and even the others at Hunting Camp were Amazed lol.
I have used this same BOOLIT on Full Sized Hogs say 200 LBS up to 350 LBS without a Problem and a few Deer as well and has done well. And I tried to impress on the others how little blood shot meat there is when using cast and they really did not take notice.
But this past weekend I even amazed myself on how well the Cast Boolit works. We were down there not to hunt but for me to Plow a few 1 Acre lots to plant. But thought what the heck I would go out before day break to see what I could see. And they said get a little pig for lunch and laughed because they are darn hard to hit as they move around ALLOT lol. And I kinda take pride on shot placement.
Well Guess what just as I was walking up to the blind and there was a group of Hogs and 6 Piglets at about 130 yards. So I popped one that was only oh 12 pounds lol. Here is the GOOD Part the bullet just went through both front shoulders and only ruined the part the Boolit went through. :bigsmyl2:
I brought it back and there Jaws dropped at the shot lol. But I had a chance to show them how little Damage there was with a Cast Boolit even one as large as the 45-70 where as there 7 MM Mags would have probably blown the little thing all to pieces.
So I Worked Too Darn Hard but I got to Shoot a Little Pig for Lunch and brag a bit and put another Dent in the wood of the Marlin 1895 GS 45-70 from having to use a tree as a steady to make the shot. But as I have told others every scratch and dent has a Story and it was well deserved lol.
Sorry for the Long Rant and Praise of the Cast Boolit :bigsmyl2:
