wifes pig

made you look didnt it. this is a boar she shot with my 4570 #1 using a cast 540 wfngc ballistic cast bullet that was then hollowpointed. Do you think it made it bleed?

[crabo]

Nice pig.  She did well.  How about some details?

My wife won't shoot anything, but she is always up for driving deer, holding them while I gut them, and helping drag them out.

How do you like that #1 in 45-70?

Very nice.  Is that in the UP?  If so I didn't realize that they (pigs) had crossed the bridge already.  I really want to get a 45/70.  Those rugers are nice looking guns, but deep down I would like to get a marlin cowboy and have it chopped down to 20".  Just have to save up some cash.

I guess with a bullet that heavy a hollowpoint isn't going to limit penetration too much.  How did you hollowpoint the bullets?

   Where the heck are you hunting piggies in the snow? Nice pig by the way!! Heck I've been out wacking Wissel pigs it was a nice 60 degree day. Made a nice 200 yd shot on one with my 113 gr cast out of my '06!

it was at the buddys game farm. Hes got about a 160 acres to hunt on and has pigs and buffalo. chis your really going to like my latest project lever. its a marlin cowboy being chopped to 18 inch and the frame hammer and lever case hardened and an apature sight with a post front that has interchangeable blades and one will be a trinium. Dave Clements is doing it.

Lloyd,

I think that I remember you posting about that project before.  That will be very nice.  I have always preferred the look of the straight stocks and octagonal barrels.  I can't wait to see pictures when that is done.

Lloyd,

That can't be YOUR wife, way to young and attractive to put up with a ol bullet caster like you....
