I did a search for Winchester 50-100-450 and your thread on Hunttalk came up, very interesting rifle. Can you find brass for it, and what kind of primers do you use?

You can find brass on occasion, it is the same as 50-110. They take a large rifle primer…
Typically we find there is little need to sit very long.
The number of pigs we have seen earlier than 30-60 minutes before dark and same after daylight I think I could count on one hand if it wasn't for accidentally bumping a sow one morning around 10 with a bunch of piglets with her.
If I'm after a pig I won't go any earlier than forced. In the mornings I will go as quietly and early as I can hoping they are out and will stay out.
That said have killed em with everything but a spear and knife and the easy way now is wait for dark and pull out the thermal. And that said... saw a boar the other day around noon cutting across the neighbors oats patch...
Cool rifle. Good shot. Great coyote buzzard feed there with that boar. Now go shoot one you can eat.

My favorite way of hunting pigs was stalking through a dense forest in the mid afternoon on hot days.
The pigs would be laying under the trees with the lowest branches using them for cover. The stalk was usually bent low and looking for a shadow, an ear flick, a movement, anything that proved that dark area above flat ground level was a pig. Shot some of the largest that way.
Never used anything as nice as an '86 though. Never ever saw one in Oz.
Congrats Shrap. A day worth living and a rifle worth owning.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
I am glad that I am not on the clean up crew behind that helicopter.
You shoot behind them when you're moving faster than they are.
