[QUOTE="Loud by design, post: 1568458, member: 55577"] Hello all, Over the past few years a few friends and I have started to explore our local WMAs in search for pigs and have been reasonably successful. One of the limiting factors we have run into is that during small game season when the majority of the hog hunting is done we are restricted to only using shotgun or rimfire to harvest any animals. This has led to someone carrying a 17hmr or wsm and the other carrying a 12 gauge with slugs or buckshot. Even though the 17s have helped us harvest a number of animals at extended ranges I’d have to think that someone somewhere has a bigger rimfire cartridge that would allow for a larger margin of error. Recently I started reading up on the 5mm Aguila recently started producing ammo for but even that is only marginally better than the 17s. Any ideas on something maybe in the 30 cal range with a bit more energy that would allow us to reach out a little further? [/QUOTE]
