I'm now thinking maybe the AR204 and 34gr. V-Max, Sig Sauer Tango 6, 3-18x44mm. It's a tack driver. What say ye?
Negative
Yeah..negative.
Ive got the .204 Stunt Shooting quadrant covered....
Fine, I'll bring a .218 Bee
It's quite accurate with 50gr Ballistic Tips, and can push them at decent speeds. Not my preferred hog cartridge, but would be fine for calling in a songdog. And the wood is pretty epic
Boston, I'll have my 308 if that one of your doesn't work. Extra type rifle. So you are safe if you can get around Mr. Ingwe and Dan and Kevin the outfitter.
Thanks for thinking of me.

Rummaging through one of the safes I stumbled upon my Ruger 357 Maximum. I have not shot it in many years. If I have some 180 gr XTP's I will bring it along.
I'm tired of playing the "what guns to bring" game...so I'm bringing 10 or so (it might climb higher). The ones I don't use I'll shoot at the range. I envision this as a male-bonding shoot-a-thon, with some pig killing thrown in. I've settled on this for my required handgun.
That will work Bob. Only problem we had was getting past the shotgun guys. They like to shoot a lot. A whole lot. Last year kind of went like this: Up early, snack if you want one, cup of coffee then off to hunting area. Picked up and back at camp by 9 or so. Breakfast about 10:00. Then free time. Shotgun guys head over to the range and shoot clays. 2:00pm or so lunch then out to hunt until dark. Back to camp, check out all hogs that have been shot then go eat a good meal and drink if you drink, smoke a cigar if you want and talk. Free beer by the way. Several of us are bringing whiskey and such, that's free of course. This to me is visiting with many friends I have met over the years. Some of these guys are on maybe trip 10 or so to this type hunt somewhere in the US.

It will be an excellent time again this year; good times with a fine bunch of gentlemen.
You fellas seem excited about your hog hunt safari.
I'm excited to see my old friends. I'm sure it will also be fun to meet new ones, and shoot pistols, rifles and shotguns. Eat good food and tell stories. Then, if all goes well, we may perforate some pork. That will be the icing on the cake for me.
I hope you boys have too much fun (again). I wish I could have joined you this year.
I just looked up Heli-Hunter. 6 to 8 shooters for 6 hours, $15000.00 They supply the heat. Tac-12 A1 Tactical 12ga with 00B. They even feed you lunch. I'm totally on board with this. I just have to figure out how to get a hold of a spare $15000.00. I'm sure my wife would be fine with this idea.

Wow, I was figuring $10k a day.
