Was a fun afternoon. Got these two with one shot at 478 yards. .308 pushing 185gr Berger Classic Hunter at 2662fps. 3/4 value 7 knot wind. The youngster was standing right behind the boar and caught the exit. The boar was decent sized. Guessing 200+. Entrance wound on boar. ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img922/9823/oiOnRd.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img924/3410/53Qytj.jpg) Got this sow at 368 yards. Same conditions.she was fair sized too. 180ish. ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img924/2913/0RWXSN.jpg) Not sure of the consistency of the 185gr Classic Hunters on critters. Notice the difference in exit wounds between the sow and the boar. ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img922/964/PFYNn5.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img923/7583/cMk7s6.jpg) John

I run the same bullet. Pigs can do different things to bullets than normal animals, since their hides vary SO much..
I"ve never had an issue with the 185s out to about 700ish yards...
Good job!

near the top of my bucket list
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

Ours are all moving at night right now..... It so dry here right now that I think everything is starting to suffer. Pigs are coming out in the wheat during full daylight. They don’t do that around here unless there’s nothing else for them to eat. John

Good job! Good to know your experience with the 185gr Classic Hunters. I’ll stick with them for a while. I’ve never had pigs leave a great blood trail either, no matter what sized exit wound they’ve got. At least not compared to a deer... John

Got this sow a few days ago at 320 yards. DRT via 185gr Classic Hunter. ![[Linked Image]](https://imageshack.com/a/img924/6530/Y8y6ZK.jpg) Got this boar today at 179 yards. I know, not long range, but I thought I’d continue the thread. This one is the biggest I’ve shot in a while, well over 200.

This little piggy came out where I could see him.
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy got his ass shot off by my gun
This little piggy didn’t let me have no fun.
This little piggy will have wait
This little piggy and I will meet at a later date
