Nope those were 60gr NBTs. in a 223AI I did shoot a big one with the 55SX and frankly coulda been more impressed..... Stand by for another thread someplace on the .17 Rem...its all your fault!

Good Job. What part of TX were you in?
We have gotten started on the spring thinning process on pigs prior to planting season. Killed 21 in the last 2 weeks, but have a long ways to go. We have killed some big ones though. A 279 lb sow, a 231 lb boar, a 203 lb boar, and a couple more sows that were probably 210-240 but we didn't weigh them. I carry scales and a hoist in my truck but my partner doesn't, so if we are in his truck they don't get weighed.

Kill them all, have you thought about a big round trap? Kill a bunch at once ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Z58BnnCY/73113-E19-E82-E-4-C88-A02-A-B9417-F04-B71-A.jpg)

Nice work on the vermin Tom.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Had another evening when I got four, and ended up with 3 over 200 pounds.One just made 200, a 215 and a 235

Bowie/Nocona is a good area. About 3 hours down 287 from me. Been through there way too much the last 2 years taking my wife to Dallas for cancer treatments. She is doing good now though.

And still there are threads "Is the 243 enough for deer and pigs?"

I'm waiting for Geebubya to chime in with a pile of dead pigs, nice rifles, Texas beer, and some nice knives :-)

Lots of pigs and deer around Bowie. Yep. Some of my folks settled in that area after the Civil War. Stop in the Cemeteries there sometimes when doing Genealogy Research. Always liked that area. Most of my pig killing at the Ranch nowadays is done with the .223 / .556. Really like the 62 gr TSX And 60 gr Nosler Partition Bullets in that caliber. They work well.

My favorite for that is the 65 Sierra Game King. I am hoarding my stash though, been really hard to find those the last 2 years.
