Thread: I have a cunning plan

or maybe not.

A mate has been asked to deal to some problem pigs raiding a local orchard. Three of us popped up after dark last night, and sure enough, the culprits were getting stuck into the apples etc. Unfortunately, after one shot from suppressed AR15, which secured a small weiner, the rest dispersed into the thick stuff double quick. There are some decent sized pigs in this mob too apparently, but due to space issues, and nearby properties, we cant get too carried away with the shooting.
Plan B is to load up some subs for my 308 and see how that goes, used in conjunction with NV.

Rifle is Rem mod 7 with 16 1/2 inch barrel, plus DPT can.
I have some Trail boss powder and, thanks to our man in Tokoroa, some nice cast 151 gn projectiles. I don't have a chrono, but can possibly borrow one if I need to.
From what I have read, the idea is to start slightly high with the powder, and test fire without suppressor to make sure rounds A; leave the barrel B; don't tumble.

What charge should I be starting with etc etc please?
