    what is the best hog hunting rifle

    Pigs are hard to kill. 5.56 will go through them without much expansion. My choice is .308 or 450 bushmaster. Both are hard hitting and accurate with the right ammo. Get ready though. I’ve hit them from 20 yds with the 450. Spun it a full 360 but it hit the ground running. He only went about...

    Steel shot for hogs

    I’ve seen videos of guys hunting close yardage with #1 &#3. Seems to drop them pretty quick.

    How to dispose of 20-30 dead pigs at a time….

    So, In Bastrop county we are swamped with swine. I’m shifting tactics to trap in large numbers. Night hunting is fun but the takes are small and odds are lowering as pigs are smart. My pigbrig arrived Saturday. I have high expectations. Anyway, if successful, how are people disposing of large...

    Nice haul! What kind of brass catcher is that? I’ve tried the soft ones and they just jam up the guns.

    Well I joined the long wait club today

    You can get bayonet mounts that accommodate a single suppressor and multiple thread types. I have one for bushmaster 450 and one that handles .308 and 5.56.

    Is this a problem?

    We hung our feeders from tree limbs. Pretty much halted them from access to the motor units. It doesn’t do anything for the ground feeding though. However, that looks like a tannerite problem.

    Thumped one with a new round

    I love my Bushmaster. I’ve been accumulating those federal Non Typical. When I get to 10 boxes I’ll switch over from the hornady. I’ve used the NonTypical in my .308 and it worked really well.

    After hunt activity - keep it drilled in

    I have a thermal target that retains the heat from a bullet long enough to sight in the next few shots. On a hot or sunny it’s useless because it heats up or the sun provides too much background noise to see the penetration. So, I can only use it later at night to sight in my guns after it’s...

    Thumped one tonight

    What was your range on that really nice kill? I’m shooting that same B450 setup and at 100-125y I’m missing the drop kill shots. I’m hitting the pigs but their running 25-50 yards to bleed out. I’m wondering if I should go back to my .308 for longer shots.
