22 ARC

Well I looked at the Hammer's. Bit pricey for me at $54. for 50.
75yds 70gr CX factory at 2600 out of the 12”. He was quartering to me hard. Put it just behind his head and it went in the neck and through him long ways and didn’t exit. He dropped on the spot and never moved.

I am interested in testing some of the new Mono's. Factory load is too easy. Looking at some Maker bullets.
 
Monos are pricey. That’s why I shoot factory 75eldm and leave it zeroed for that. Then pretty much any slightly lighter copper load I use will be ~1/2” higher poi at 100yds for pigs. If I only shoot 30-40 pigs a year that’s less than $40. All depends on how you use them. But you’re right the factory 70cx is to easy I bought 300rds of it last year just for hunting. I just like to tinker and the hammer absolutes and HBCs shoot well with little effort and get impressive velocity. Also it’s nice to be able to shoot pigs from whatever angle with monos and get good penetration to anchor them. Because half my shots are in thick brush through small windows with very little of the animal exposed.
