RE: HOG HUNTIN
What caliber to use you ask??
If I sit in my stand I use my .260 or .270. This past year though I have started stalking the pigs and have gone to a lever action browning open sights in a .357, using 185Gr shells. While not a real big round, I have been shooting these hogs at under 25 yards. This round is big enough to do the job and small enough so my 11 year old can use it for hogs as well. Every pig I have hit with the .357 this year, 8 so far, have dropped in thier tracks.
