I always used to cook pig over charcoal and corn cobs. Not sure what it is about corn cobs but it's great eating if you can get your hands on some.

Little bit different method from what is done to the "fat hogs" here in Lexington. No basting while cooking and some cardboard kept wet atop the meat. Looks like you had quite a meal!

Very interesting..I'll be trying the corn cobs and the wet cardboard next time..I fed 17 people with that hog and had a lot left over..it was very tasty...thanks

I have a box of 264 99gr hammers sitting here , waiting for me to decide what to do with them. I had intended to load them for one of my AR15 6.5 grenals, but I have an itch to build a ultra light 6.5 creed with a carbon fiber sporter weight barrel and magnesium chassis on a 700 action. I have some pretty nasty neck issues that makes it unwise to subject myself to much recoil and those 99s loaded to around 3000fps should be pretty easy on snap with recoil. If that little 22cal does that kind of damage, a 99gr 264 can at 3000 should be a dang giant killer !! Full disclosure......I just hunt close to home in Ga, so pigs and whitetails are about all I will be chasing.

Yeah buddy that would be a thumper..I saw some fella using the 85 grain hammer in a 6.5cm on hogs and the damage was massive..I have some 181 grain loaded for my 300 win mag at 3300 fps..can't wait to see how that turns out

Be sure to soak the corncobs with water so they burn slow and smoke instead of just creating excess heat and burn the pork though.

I waited over a year for some Nosler Accubond bullets to come in stock and now all I have to do now is just order the hammer bullets of my choice and I get them in a few days.
They are in stock and ready for shipping so who could ask for more?.

 

[stovepipe]

The more I use them the more I like them..they make wound channels unbelievable, I agree with you old rooster who could ask for more..not to mention how easy they are to find a super accurate load

I have started 6 kids on deer with a 223. I settled on the 60 grain Nosler Partition as the pinnacle bullet in 223 for deer.
Always opens/expands where some of the coppers I had didn't open and left pin holes through deer at 250 yards.
I have only recovered two of these 60 gr Nos Part. Both went diagonally from front end of the deer to the back end of the deer and stopped just under the hide of the back ham. They shed the entire front lead portion and the back half of the partition keeps on going and going and going...

This hog damage has me intrigued. I may have to try some of these hammers in 223 if I get a chance. Maybe when I have grand kids. All my kids have moved up to the bigger style of cavitating, hydrostatic shocking, knock down power producing version of deer slaying calibers.

This was exactly what I was doing also until I found the hammers now I don't even have a partition on my shelve. Sad to think but boy your think they would make a high bc partition some day.

Hammers are becoming so popular because of their performance and availability. I sincerely hope they never sell out to a big company like barnes and some others did. Quality would suffer.
