Hi Jeff,

Hmmm, you wouldn't be pulling our legs, would you Jeff?

[303Guy]

C'mon Jeff, don't keep us in suspenders. Tell us more!

(I wish I had a story to add with my pig gun in 303 Brit with a 205gr paper patched boolit but alas .... )

[Lefty SRH]

Pencil me in please, I'm still trying! It will be 1 of the 3, .44 mag, .45 colt, .480 Ruger, time will tell.

[TXGunNut]

I guess we'll have to revive this thread @ a later time, Lefty. Have lost count with the 30-06, had one...oops, two bagged years ago with a Contender in .35 Rem and last 3 have been with a 45-70-but all w/ J-bullets. But I'm trying to do better, honest!

[Lefty SRH]

I was on the hogs on some land but it was archery only, since then the hogs have been killed/trapped out. I've had to move to a new location (100,000 acres of rugged land) and had to start ALL OVER from square one. Good news is I have located 1 spot that looks like it holds some BIG dominant boar hogs! Can't wait to see!

[arcticbreeze]

444 Marlin x 4 hogs

[TXGunNut]

Smack a good one for me, Lefty! Freezer's full and I'm tired of making sausage.

[clintsfolly]

1 with 357mag ,1 with bow&arrow and 1 with the 458AccRel. the 1 with the 458 the guide was shocked and said I have never seen the ground hit a pig so hard!!!!! Clint

[LIMPINGJ]

3 with the 222 Rem Mag and 1 with a 223.

[harley45]

10mm with a cast WFN but I just ordered a Keith style for it so maybe when It gets here Ill find a spot to test it on hogs too!

[bowfin]

Let me clarify:

Anything coming out of the barrel that proved to be lethal qualifies.

That being said, it's past my bed time and there are too many posts to go through tonight.

But we are almost to the weekend!

3 with the 222 Rem Mag and 1 with a 223.

are these small pigs or neck shots i've read the .223 was not enuff gun for larger pigs , what is your point of aim with lighter , smaller boolits i want to pig hunt , not good enuff with my 454 casull revolver (no scope ) and my surplus rifles are too dang heavy , i want a quick follow up but that would have to be my unissued sks yugo , maybe i could trade it off for a nice russian sks, a little lighter no grenade launcher on the russian , or that is another post

Being young, i do the best i can to learn from my elders, i met a chap who has been pig hunting for more than 30 years, using nothing more than a pair of pig dogs and a sticking knife. Swore that it was the best way to take on pigs.

Personally, i prefer to keep a bit of distance between me and them and use a big chunk 'o lead

First pig was a .45-70 Guide Gun i borrowed from a friend (This is the rifle that got me into wanting a 45-70 so badly) i was also incredibly surprised just how quickly and how efficiently .303 british dropped running pigs in their tracks. For such a big lump of rolling meat & tusks, you wouldnt think a little old .303 would do a hell of a lot.. maybe thats why they were so popular as NZ bush guns

300 ultra.....wasn't hunting hogs. used what i had. DRT.
