Just because you can do it doesn't necessarily mean you should. It's on the verge of negligence as far as humanely killing."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

While I agree, I've seen a farmer or two use anything close at hand to shoot pigs as they cause a large destruction of their yearly profit. Also seen the same in relation to coyotes as well.Originally posted by CJ View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Some shot is better than none, but if you have a choice use a larger caliber.Originally posted by dee View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I agree smallest I will use is 22 cal center fire, been meaning to get some of the new bonded 64gr Nosler bullets to try out in 223 and 22-250."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I use to shoot hogs with a 77gr sierra matchking @ 3000fps with my 24" barrel, that was in one out the other head canoe. I'm switching to an AR-10 though for less chasing and blood trail following.Originally posted by dee View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I never had to trail with the 250 but I limited my shots to ear only. My dad uses the Monarch 55gr sp stuff and lung shoots them with pretty good results I was very skeptical but on average he shoots 2-3 per week with no problems yet."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Well I'm rarely shooting just one. When you get 10 of them in a group, one of them gets a head shot, the other 9 get whatever the fuck I can give them while they are running.Originally posted by dee View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

That's why I usually use a well built bullet and line them up."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I don't care how well built the bullet is, you're not getting 10 of them in a perfect line, and if you did you'd get maybe 3 - one in a critical area and the other two in the ass and gut probably if you were incredibly lucky. Last time we were at the lease a machine wasn't even enough for the quantity of pigs out there.Originally posted by dee View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Three isn't too big of an issue depending on size but on average it's two due to lack of patience. Usually won't get more than 2 shots around here as it's just not that open in the area's I get to hunt."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

how is it humane to spray and pray any game?Don't worry about what you can't change.
Do the best you can with what you have.
Be honest, even if it hurts.

so far, everyone I've shot with the .17hmr has gone down like thisone. between the eyes or in the side just below the ear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU23w9YllYMDon't worry about what you can't change.

I'm hitting each with a .223 or .308 round, you're shooting a rimfire at full grown animals. That isn't even legal on game animals. Using a powerful cartridge gives you some buffer for errors on aiming, especially if you're shooting large groups. I have never had to put a second shot into any pig I've hit.Originally posted by jyro View Post"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I haven't hunted hogs in a long time, and have never killed a lot of them, but I always enjoyed using a larger caliber handgun. I had borrowed my step-dads Thompson Contender with .44 mag and .223 barrels. I ended up buying a 6" model 657 Smith (.41 mag) that I used most of the time. It was easier to handle than my model 29 (.44 mag) and the hogs never seemed to know the difference.Comment
