Most excellent work!
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Great Job. Every once in a while you get a rife that just acts like a heat seeking missile. Good shooting.

Do you eat those or are you paid for tails?

I wish I got paid for tails... I just try to do what the landowners tell me so that I get asked to come to more land. In this case the 50 lbs-er (the small one) is in my cooler. I prefer wild hog meat to venison.

Wait a few years you will be over run with them once they start causing millions of dollars in damage to crops that will change

Never pick a fight with seven men if all you are packing is a six gun.

I hunt because I love to hunt BUT the smile on a landowner's face after you've killed some of the vermin that have caused him thousands of dollars in damage is priceless! I have a hard time believing feral hogs would be protected anywhere.

Hornady 123 grain AMax factory. One shot per hog dropped all three in their tracks. I am not kidding either... they did not run a yard.

Interesting. I thought that round would expand too quickly if it hit the shoulder, and not penetrate enough to effect a quick kill.

I've killed a hog with my 7mm before, but definitely want to go on a pest-control mission with my Grendel.

I was thinking of using Scirocco 130's or Hornady SST 129's. I do, however have a bunch of A-max 123's, and they are cheap (relatively) and accurate.

I also wonder whether Wolf MPT might be a good round, even if it's not especially accurate.
