Looks like a pig gun to me.

180 Barnes, don’t remember the load, thinking H4895 powder, maybe 46 grains. Had two lined up, the other took off in the brush.

Hopefully the 'yotes will get'em, at least the little ones... Bigger ones seem to survive. DF

Sat on pipe line, scattered corn out, bastards kept coming out. I got tired of shooting the bastards, was hungry too. Was out of bullets.

Them piggies are just yearning to be shot by a classy rifle, not one of those ugly plastic ones.

That rifle puts bullets damn near through the same hole. Lots of fun to shoot.

Baby pigs: assuming a predator doesn’t find them, they can survive without mother at only 3days old! By day 4 they can root and scrounge food! So they need to be shot with a savage on any day...ha ha
But honestly it’s crazy, like cockroachs! James
