I've mainly used 140-145's, but some 160's too.

I'm sitting here with one of my 7x57s, watching a 55 pound +/- boar root corn out of some nasty water. Hope his big brother shows. Ingwe, where are you??

You know I will; no heart/lung shots for me in this terrain. I'm thinking the Ingwe Special is made for this.

Maybe I'll pass and let him grow up a bit.

I'm at least going to let him get out of the water.

Yeah, terra firma is the way to go. Coming out of the water under hog power, better than dragging 'em out with Mike power...  DF

Just thinking out loud here. I don't recall any gunwriters calling the .270 Winchester -"Magnficient", just saying.

Bob: I didn't take a pic of the deceased as the Prvi C&C resulted in a mess, but I also know that on the 'Fire, if there aren't any pictures it didn't happen. Do you think this might suffice as proof: 58 pound boar...well, at least the eating parts. ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-05/D59212AF-54BF-4781-8096-16A344C3A9A3_zpsvmeuchj3.jpg)

We'll marinate him in some mojo seasoning, put him in the crockpot for a few hours, shred him and throw him over a bit of rice. It ain't bad!
My brother-in-law and I were filling a feeder yesterday and we heard something behind us. Four little pigs were heading up the trail straight towards us, plain as day. Once they saw us they took off, but if they keep that up they won't live long.
