I fix stuff, sometimes....
Took the day to do some research and relaxation. Went to see what the hog situation was looking like and give the new X-Caliber 3 groove barrel a whirl. First hog was 386yds, dialed up 4 moa, whack, dead hog.
Upon inspection the 75gr AMax @ 3250fps didn't expand, at all. Figured it was a fluke and moved on. Next hog up was at 750yds, dialed up 14.5 MOA, shot and hit 4 feet right. I then dialed in 7.75 MOA left shot and whack, hit the hog. Moved on to the 775yds hog, dialed in the necessary MOA, kept the 7.75 left, shoot and hit the hog center mass. Hog takes off.... I see the 750 hog moving about, dial back, shot and hit him a second time, center mass, then watched him gallop to his hole. So two dead hogs in hand and a third some where else.
The 75gr Amax bullets that last year were blowing hogs up at 500yds+ are penciling through this year. No idea why. The bullets are moving 3250fps, 10% from the 22x47L mark. \
All were male btw.
