One more time. If anyone needs an airport pickup/drop off, ride to/from the ranch or a bed at either end let me know.

Thanks for the offer Ed. I'm driving down will leave some time mid morning to noon on Tuesday and overnight somewhere around Abilene Tx. Then head to ranch Wed morning.

The .35 Rem Marlin will do about 1½" inches at 100 with the first handload I tried. I wasn't sure how TAC would do in a moderate pressure round, but the velocity variation is extremely low. So that's done.
The .218 Bee is running 50gr Ballistic tips at 2950 fps. The rifle shoots well - 5 in 7/10". So I reckon it will be the head shot rifle.
Also shot the .300 RUM, and it did well, but it's a bit much for pigs

I am getting ready to zero my Marlin with a new to me Leupold 6 power. If this works, then it is three rifles for me: the Swedish Frankengun the Marlin and the 300 AAC Good times, and GW, I am jealous! It is still soggy out here.

I'm guessing that a Tannerite explosion would kill way more than your limit.
Probably startle oilfield people for miles around, too
