Handi Hawg
« on: December 20, 2009, 12:58:35 PM »
Hey everyone,wanted to show off the feral hog I took with my 357 Handi. I was using a handloaded 158 gr. cast hollowpoint over 2400
in a magnum loading. The shot was from 60 yds. broadside. The bullet entered in the right ear and exited through the left shoulder----
Bang,flop,kick,kick,kick,die.

I had recently made a Maxi out of it, and had been test firing Maxi loads earlier, but was out of Maxi loads when I took the pig.
I now need to work up some Maxi hunting loads and try them out on pigs, we're covered up with them in West Texas. Oh, also
this one went to the processor and now resides in the freezer-----Already had some good breakfast sausage---MMMMm!

This is my first attempt at posting a foto--hope it works
