We have done a ton of ballistics on several they have sent me to test...Very impressive especially the 194 subs and the expansion at so low a FPS rate.
Man you guys are awesome. Thanks for the advice. Next step is the weapon and optic and get it dialed in with the ammo. That and finishing the hunter safety course. Thanks again guys!!
Depends on what performance your wanting it to do.
My buddy dug this out of the 100# sow that he shot last week. 300 Blk AR pistol with 10.5” barrel, 137 yard shot, (ranged), quartering away. The 110gr Barnes TTSX went through her spinal column and lodged beneath the hide on the opposite side. She dropped in her tracks and did the Curly Shuffle for a few seconds.
I have posted this before.
I would recommend paying for a guided hunti the first time out. You need know about 100 things to go hunting and any 1 you don't know could cost you. It could mean either never seeing a pig, or getting gored by a pig, or anything in between.
As a minimum, a guide should put you in a place to see a pig. If you shoot one and pay attention you'll learn how to gut the animal and prepare it as food. Ask lots of questions and make sure they know that this is your first hunt, and you want a guided hunt.
The wild pig is the smallest of the big game. When they are injured, they attack. Wild Boars can weigh as much as an NFL linebacker (or more) and run at 30 mph. Think about it! 200-500 pounds, 30 mph, 30 inches off the ground, and looking to mow you over.
The first pig I ever saw was a 300 pound boar, 15 feet away. My .357 shot to the head hit 1 inch below my aim point, the ear opening/brain. It dropped him and he got right back up and was looking to charge. BTW lesson learned: never take your eye off the front sight until you know he's dead.
Pay attention when they gut out the pig. If you don’t know how to do it. Watching some one else will learn you. The same technique will work with any animal.
