This proves that hogs are more intelligent than some politicians. Thanks for the education!

Well executed and documented. Thanks!

35 or 40gr vmax, app, and Lil'gun for me. W296 a close second. I have 4 Hornets and 2 KHornets. I have an 1885 hornet but not my best shooter. Ruger No. One is my best shooter.

22 K Hornet, 22-250, 308 Win, 300 Win mag, 45/70,

A RCBS, Redding, Lyman, single stage is the way to go. I have had a Rockchucker RCBS for 40 plus years. It has never failed me. That said, I also own a Dillon 550 and 650 for my pistol and high volume rifle rounds. Do not scrimp on a powder scale or measure. Watch the gun forums and you can pick...

.270 Win or .308 would be fine. I have shot deer and elk with both. Never fired more than one shot per animal. Stay within 400 yards or so and you will be fine. If you move up to bull elk, I would go with the 7mm mag or 300 Win mag. Good shooting!

I have the NX8 4-32 sfp. Better than the NXS optically and lighter. I elk hunt in an area that has big timber so I opted for the SFP so I could see the reticle clearly there. The glass is not on par with the Swarovski or Zeiss scopes in my estimation but my eyes are getting old and tired. Would...

I agree. I never understood the need to wring every fps out of a round. The best accuracy usually comes a bit below the max load. Only had one kaboom and it came with factory ammo in factory gun. A rear eye opener for sure. Safe shooting sir!

I would opt for the 6.5 pro. My go to antelope rifle was a .270 win. With a 130 or 140gr. Boat tail bullet. I loved hunting the speed goats. Probably the easiest big game hunt in the U.S. I hunted around Gillette and Douglas Wyoming. Good Shooting!

I have only shot one elk with a 308. Remington 700 ss with 24" barrel. Loaded Sierra 165 gr spbt at 2695fps. Quartering shot facing me at 240 yes. I recovered the bullet. Good expansion and about 14" penetration stopping in the liver as I recall. It was a large cow and she dropped in her...

Ruger 10/22 with aftermarket barrel and trigger are the best bang for the buck for me Had a Weatherby Mark XXII that would shoot one holes at 50 yards. My most accurate is a Remington 541S and a CZ 455 with a Fedderson barrel. Both of the latter are bolt guns.

Nice article. Thanks for sharing the story and the pictures.

I was in a little out of the way gun shop in northern Indiana two weeks ago. They had 2 lbs of H1000 and so real other powders like H4350, H4198, unique and I believe a pound or two of W296. Prices were normal retail.

Possible yes. Probable NO

I have Pentax 10X43 DCF SP binos for my beat around glass. They are not as.bright or clear as my Zeiss Victory but a great glass for the money.
