Based on my limited testing last year, the 338 Federal is a bacon smasher. Whatchoo gonna use on them this year? Still ciphering, but it could be a 6.5 PRC, or 270 WCF, or a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Got 4 out of a group of 7 this evening. Still not really digging the 75gr Hornadys, may have to try something else.

I am..........disturbed.

DD - I like the Contender Carbine! What caliber?
My "favorite" hog gun us a Contender with .44 mag 14" barrel, topped with a suppressor as long as the barrel, and mounted in a carbine stock. I normally shoot sub-sonic hard cast bullets of 335 gr, and it is deadly at up to 75 yards. Twice have killed two "pigs" with one shot! Used a 3x9 variable on it - just switched to an EOTech holographic.

I prefer a 223 AR. Fast follow ups for more kills in big sounders. Never had any trouble killing them even with 55gr ball. Keith Warren kills them with an air rifle. Had a show doing that at night using a kill light. Had never seen or heard of this before. Not ideal for sure.
