I know it sounds crazy, but these are the idiotic rules at a nearby military reservation that is infested with feral pigs: only rimfire weapons / ammunition are allowed, or shotguns with T shot or smaller, to hunt hogs. I figure if I can find an accurate rifle / load capable of penetrating the...
I am about to finish building out a .22 ARC AR for coyotes and foxes at night. I am scheduled to go to Florida in February on a hog hunt. I typically use a 6.8 SPC AR-15 or my .308 AR-10. Will the.22 ARC be effective on hogs out to about 300 yards or should I go ahead and build a .6mm ARC upper...
A few years back I took a hog hunt with some friends. We took 7 hogs on that trip ranging from 200-380lbs. Used a variety of rifle and pistol rounds. I took one with a .308 custom load using a Nosler ballistic tip in 165g. It was a perfectly placed shoulder shot that went thru and thru. I was only 5y away.
I have a savage 110 hog hunter in 350 legend. I shoot 180 grain winchester power point through it. also tested federal 180 grain power shock. pictures are a 4 shot group at 100 yards. 2 rounds of each. it puts great holes in deer size game.
I’m looking to get an AR for hog hunting and wanted something in between the .223 and .308 AR’s I currently have. I’ve got a CGS Hyperion K on order so it will be suppressed and potentially have a thermal. I currently have a Falkor Petra and wouldn’t mind going with their 6.5 creed but not...
Re: .44 Magnum Hog Hunting I use 240gr RN very hard cast, 12.5gr of Unique with a mag pistol primer and a heavy 0.010-0.015 roll crimp. Runs around 1450 fps from my 9.5" barreled Super Redhawk. The hard cast doesn't deform very much and just drills through whatever it hits, so for deep penetration on a tough animal like a hog. For jacketed bullets, 240 or 265 Flex tips are good stuff.
I currently have an 20 inch .224 Valkyrie that I use for hogs. I don't hunt them very often, but I'm looking for a different upper or new rifle to use with my supressor. Since I have the supressor I would like a 16 inch for maneuverability. So what caliber would be best? Also recoil plays a...
Anyone have plans for a box hog trap with a Guillotine style door? You will catch more with a falling spring shut door rather than a guillotine door. When one hog goes in, other hogs will push their way in through a spring door when the see the first hog eating something.
Kentucky Finalizes Hog Hunting Ban In Kentucky, the Department of Fish & Wildlife Resources (KDFWR) is finalizing a ban on hog hunting following a vote by the state’s commission in December. According to the agency, hunting is working against eradication and trapping efforts by educating wild pigs, making them nocturnal and...
I have a Savage hog hunter in .308 that I'm looking to upgrade to a LR rifle. I'm wanting to convert it to a removable magazine and upgrade the stock. If I buy a Bell and Carlson stock that is for a mag fed rifle and buy the stealth bottom metal from PTG, would I need anything else to do what I...
