Im running a 25 Gr Woodchuck Den bullet this season with N-120 powder! 3520 fps
Dude has some fine rifles for sure. Doing a great job shooting them too.
That’s smokin’ with 25’s! How is the brass life?

Brass life is good. I can go up on powder more before recking my brass. I probably done loaded this seasons brass 3 times now with no issues!

You singlehandedly have shot more ground hogs this year, than I have seen in 15 years in my neck of the woods around middle TN.
I don't hunt anymore other than the occasional coyote getting too close to the house, so please keep the post coming.

Beautiful country - love those pictures. You're a master hog hunter - candidate for the Ground Hog Hunter Hall of Fame. 
Ground hogging has gone to hell here in eastern PA. 20 years ago I had 7 to 8 farms with a multitude of fields loaded with hogs. Today, 2023, with over development, I am down to 3 farms and 60% less fields to hunt due to changes in farming practices, planting in alternating strips of corn, beans, wheat and hay. Corn is king here now and those hog boys do not like corn fields.
I am up to 18 this year but that is over 14 hog safaris to date. Wind had been a big issue here. Still, I love being outdoors so I'll keep it up until I can no longer do it. At 76, I don't get around like I use to. I usually end up smoking a fine cigar and falling asleep in my sportsman's chair.
