357 max should be plenty
Under the right conditions, in the 7th perigree of the sun, and when Venus lines up with Pluto, even
LESS could do :wink:
Curious....would you take on this bad boy with a 357 anything?
I flew in Nam with a Captain who carried a M1 in the Huey while I carried an original Model 12 Wichester pump, the one where you held the trigger and as soon as the trombone went forward the gun went off. Krantz near got us killed with that M1. That fool thing wouldn't even slow down a 60 pound Gook! Dang near took over the ship. I laid him back in the seat and fired accross his chest as they were comin through his window. He quit usin it after that mission. :grin:
You seem to be getting by with guns to the shy side, and that seems to be working out for you. All hogs are not created equal as I have found out. There are Ferals, and then there are Russians, Russians is what I've always hunted, and those are pretty tough to drop in place. That's not saying the Ferals are push overs. As I've said before,
ALL pigs can be hard to kill and dangerous.
I've seen em dropped clean with all sorts of guns. 30-30's, 44 mags in pistol and rifles. I've also seen em walk from -06, 300 Winnie Mags, 338's, 475 Linebaughs, and even a 460 Weatherby with a 500 grain bullet! Just depends.....I do NOT shoot unless I have a high percentage shot so shot placement isn't it in my case.
Ya just never know :wink:
