Default RE: Hogs and the .45-70

I don't have any pictures but I know a 45/70 makes a great hog rifle. I use a .450 Marlin and when you shoot one you don't have to worry about them running off. Right now I'm waiting for the new bullets from Hornaday they have the pointed tip to try them on hogs. If the work like they say I think it will be a perfect bullet for hog hunting. I've used smaller guns but we hunt them at night and you don't have a lot of time to try to make a perfect shoot so we shoot them behind the shoulder alot and had problems with the shield on the larger hogs stopping the smaller bullets and just wounding them. We've butchered some that we found several scars on the shield were they had been shot before and survived.
