    100 grain Barnes TSX enough for hogs?

    Whoa, take it easy with the accusations about my accuracy. I would say 100 hogs is a good start, but it's not really that many for people that ranch cattle coastally. Myself included. I do know that if you shot 100 hogs you did not kill all of them instantly with an earhole shot. otherwise no...

    100 grain Barnes TSX enough for hogs?

    Giving advice to earhole shoot even a nuisance animal such as a common pig, a feral animal in most CA cases, results in lots of poorly placed shots and wounded, suffering animals. If you need to shoot a hog behind the ear to kill it quickly, something is wrong. Bad advice. I have found many...

    100 grain Barnes TSX enough for hogs?

    I have hunted coastal CA and killed a few good ones with a 6mm Remington, with lighter bullets. Don't buy into the "earhole shot" BS. Just shoot them behind the shoulder like any other game animal. I switched over to a .375 H&H with 270 grain Barnes solid copper and it killed them exactly the same.

    What scope for my 375 H&H

    I have used Leupold Scopes exclusively on my .375s and my .416 Remington. I had a friend that had a Vortex fail on a .358 win mag. The .375 H&H gets hate as a Fudd gun on here, but shoots very flat out to 300. 3.5-10 power is what I use on my 7.5 lb. Remington 700 and no reticle failure with...

    Maximum effective range of 375 H&H

    Well, I was openly ridiculed for my love of my .375 H&H. I actually have shot ground squirrels and coyotes with my 24 " Sporter weight stainless model 700 out to around 400 yards when ammo was cheaper. Dead is dead, why all the hype about what a little 6.5 Creedmoor can (maybe) do when you can...

    Struggling to see the point of 6.5's

    Another observation. Many of the guys I have noticed buying 6.5 Creedmoor factory ammo are wearing those neon sneakers. I looked down at my beat up Danner boots and realized, maybe I am just a Fudd. Maybe my my old .30 cal relics do recoil too hard and I am doing permanent damage to my shoulder...

    Struggling to see the point of 6.5's

    There is nothing new under the sun. I wonder which new caliber will replace the little Creedmoor round as the greatest breakthrough in the history of rifle cartridges? Maybe popular opinion will embrace something that hits harder than a bb gun. I had a 700 375 H&H that I used for everything...
