Thread: Longrange (pig) hunt.

Yeah, but 69gr is a heavy .223 if you think about it like that its no wonder they kill so well.

So a change in direction was needed, enter the mighty 7mmWSM!!!!



Pretty happy with this bad boy, He'd killed a few early lambs and was making one hell of a mess in the farmers paddocks.

My days of carrying out big pigs 5km's through native bush in the Coromadel are over, I'd just bone it out now...but luckily for me it was shot on a private property, so I only had to carry it a couple of km's and all down hill. The reward was seeing the relief on the farmers face when I saw it dead (coming into lambing), he was really stressing - but very happy now.

+1 on the amax ...I usually pull it from the skin on the opposite side and its just toatalled inside
