I calculate a lot of overhead.   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

I think our former sergeant might have gotten the "lost in combat" discount on some of that overhead. As for the rifles? Well, maybe we couldget  DPMS to sponsor us. Making hog hunting a big money competition like Bass fishing or kingfish tournaments has potential. I mean hell, the founder of BASS got richer than God by organizing a bunch of rednecks and then convincing sporting goods companies they could make a bundle if they'd pony up some prize money and give out some free gear. Why not a hog hunting tour? I like it. ;D

Do it like the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
Largest hog for a single derby wins those prizes, at the end of the season the shooter with largest total of weight wins the big prize, one entry per shoot.  ;D

Nah, that wouldn't work. You need land owner cooperation and they want them all dead, not just the big ones. It would have to be largest number, total weight, and biggest hog in about that order as far as prize money goes. Perversely, I can actually see this working. Land owners who don't want to pay trappers, rednecks who want to kill stuff (us), and gun and assorted companies who want to sell stuff. Its the perfect storm of bloodlust and capitalism all wrapped up in an environmentally friendly banner. After all, its for the children  ;D. All we need now is a shady promoter with industry connections. MB?, that's your cue. Hogapolooza 2012 anyone? ;)

"perfect storm of bloodlust and capitalism" made me lol.  :)

Methinks tom, that a certain bullet, like Hornady TAP, in a certain local platform could stock one's freezer well for the Winter....

and a mighty tasty BBQ in true Infidel Spring fashion.... ;)

I was wondering if it would work on a large one. How many grains, what configuration, and how many rounds? I'd use the .270, but I WANT to use the AR. ;)

Barnes 70 gr. if you want to pay. Hornady TAP 75gr. HP's ( a local favorite)....and Federal Fusion 62gr or 64 gr. SP.

Regardless of twist rate, most hog shots as you know, are less than 100-even 75 yds....More like 40yds, or less.

I think a 16" AR can and should be able to put one in a coffee saucer target at that range.

Right behind the ear.....upper neck, spinal devastation. ::)

Got Bacon?

From a handloader for those so inclined...


64 grain fusion over 25.1 of varget is good for just over 1 inch at a hundred without trimming brass. It kills shit dead.

A friend gets excellent results using the 70gr Barnes TSX over the Varget (I don't know the powder load).

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I have a scar on my leg that says a 30,06 will not pentrate a pigs skull, twice.


sure you can kill them with a 22 short, but when they charge, look out.

a marlin guide gun in 45 70 with 400+ grainers is my gun of choice now.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.
