My buddy and I have been hitting some farms and have nailed quite a few. Its been a size roller coaster....started popping big ones first early in season, then nothing but little things (normally 3-4 spotted at one time together), now we are back to big ones. Managed a few with my diseased 17 Hornet before shipping back to Savage for an overhaul. Then brought out the 243...I was on fire with that thing until I put 3 rounds down range at a very hefty hog lasered at 285. Miss...Miss....Miss. Sprayed him with dirt thats all. He was out again next visit...2 rounds fired...Miss..Miss....luckily I had been popping hogs in between or my confidence would be the only thing shot. Ran out of Hornady 243 so I've been toting the 223 since I had a few boxes of V-Max left.....The G'Hogs have been falling nicely on our farms this summer....just wish they had all been with the 17 Hornet along.....I really wanted to learn that rifle well before fox season and figured G'hogs would be the ticket...oh well, some of the kills were pretty long and way past what I would take with the 17 Hornet anyway...
