Sorry, you are right! I will do better, I was thinking prepper, LOL. Too bad it is not clean people food, here it is open season on them.
Pretty good challenge too, they are a tough target!

I've done a loot of pig shooting here, .308 and .243, but never kept the meat. I'm not a huge fan of pork products I guess, I eat it, but not that often. I don't think I'd been game to consume much of the wild stuff although have tried it a few times when out hunting and we got a young one. They harvest it here for the German market. We have a feral pig problem here so the government offer a bounty. There is no season to hunt them either, it's year-round.
All good, I saw it as a gun post and figured you'd just forgotten about The Pew.
I fixed it, .308 is my preference. I don't have a .243, I have to fix that, LOL.
I don't eat it, but a lot of people do, might give them a good option with empty grocery shelves. No bounty here...yet!
I just was so focussed on prepping, that Pew just got past me, LOL!
:)>I really like the .308 as it imparts such a nice amount of energy into targets when it hits. I also find it easy to shoot, sort of effortless. Of course, it doesn't necessarily have as good a trajectory as other currently popular rounds, the .243 for example, but it certainly deserves its place at the pointy end of favoured rounds.
Everyone seems to be looking for faster MV, a flatter trajectory, however the .308 is a capable and effective round...Still, people are always looking for the next best thing these days huh?
No stress about The Pew...It's for anything gun related so feel free to drop stuff in there. You can also reblog those posts directly onto your blog which means your friends will still get to see it. I do that with most of my own posts anyway, and certainly anything I drop into a community that I think could be universally interesting. (I hope this makes sense, if not ask and I will clarify.)
Followed it perfectly...and that worries me, LOL!
The 300 Win Mag shoots pretty flat too...got a little velocity on the point. The last deer I took was at about 150 yards with that toy, it was almost unfair!
I like the .308 for wild pigs, because it carries 20 in the magazine...and it does a fantastic job downrange.
The guy at the gun club shooting 22-250 was pushing the speed badly enough he was loosing about 10% to centrifugal force, due to velocity! I am Mean...I told him he could get more speed with a lower twist barrel, ROFLOL! And he was thinking about it....
After all, 4200 FPS was too slow (so he said).
Sharing is a good Idea!
:)>Lol...300WM at 150 yard would kill a T-rex dude! :)
I like the 22-250, just sold mine only a couple months ago though...Was surplus to my needs. but man, they get those rounds zipping along huh? 4200fps! I don't think it's be my go-to for pigs though...Too light.
What's the T-rex season in Australia? I'm in....
He got my attention because sometimes there was a puff in front of the gun. I asked him why, and he said the projectile was exploding due to the spin rate!
:)>Lol, T-Rex season.
