want advice on caliber choice
« on: November 13, 2003, 09:37:47 AM »
I have a T/C contender super 14 in 45-70 caliber.  I am planning on getting another barrel to use for javalina, (a collared peccary, adult weight 35-60 pounds).  I was considering 223, 7-30 waters, or 30-30.  I have not been able to find a comparison of theses calibers,  and would welcome any information and/or advice on these choices.  Thanks, pj

FWIW, both a pard in Scottsdale and myself use 221 Fireballs for cactus pigs, and never had any fail to drop like a rock.   We both have Bullberry 12" barrels, and I also shoot an XP-100 Fireball.   So from your choices, the 223 would be way more than enough gun.

HTH,

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
