What caliber @ 100 yds.
Hey guys
Next month I'll be heading down to SC for my first hog hunt. I'll be hunting out of a stand over a feeder. I'm not sure of the distance but I'm figuring that the longest shot will be 100 yards.
My primary gun of choice is going to be my TC Omega with 2 pellets of 50 gr. Pyro topped with a 250 gr. TC Shockwave. However, just in case for a back up, I plan on bringing my Dad's .35 Rem., using 200 gr round nose Federal ammo.I may even decide to hunt with this gun since he's no longer with us and it will make mefeel like I'm sharing the hunt him.
Here's my question are both of these load sufficent todo the job if I get a 100 yard shot? Will they have the power to punch through the shoulder plate or will bullet placement be a crital factor in retrieving my hog? In other words at 75 yds. plus only go for a neck shot? If that's the case I'd rather not use these guns since anything canhappen to throwthe shot offand I prefer to have a clean kill.
Thanks in advancefor you answers ................. Joe
