Went hunting this weekend for deer and hogs,deer is bow only but hogs are open season.
I was shooting a Marlin 1895- 475 GNR (45-70 necked up to 475) shooting 375gr cast LFNGC at 1900 fps out of a 18" barrel.The 375gr cast boolits are BHN 14 (straight WW).The exit would was about 1.5" in diameter.
This hog came to a feeder at 6:30 this morning and as soon as there was enought light to shoot I nailed her behind the shoulder,the pig hit the groung squealing bloody murder but promptly got up and ran 20 yards before going down for good.
