I've been invited to go hog hunting in Florida later this year. I've shot a lot, but am not a hunter, so could use a little guidance. I have searched and read, but am interested in any input you'd be willing to share.
First the specifics: I'd like to use my Marlin 336SC, 35 Remington, standard rifling. It has an older Bushnell 4x scope on it, just a classy older rifle.
I have the NOE version of the Ranch Dog 359-190 RF, gas check mold.
I have brass, and lots of different powders to choose from.
I'd like to minimize recoil, but still have a clean kill on a hog. My goal would be to shoot a smaller one, and yardage would probably be limited to 50-75 yards.
Any advice on a velocity goal, or loads would be much appreciated.
If I'm all wet on the suitability of the rifle or bullet, feel free to tell me that too.
Thank you
