Charter arms .327mag Hog

Was turkey hunting Sunday and had about 15 hogs come by me and head to a slough I was hunting near, had my carry gun on me when they went behind hill and got into water I stalked to top of bank, belly crawled about last 10yds and was only about 21yds from this sow 120lbs or so, she was quartering away aimed at point of shoulder but hit right under her ear she dropped like a rock.

Nice one! Now if you can get the rest of them that would be even better...My last hog fell to my .223 using 55gr Vmax rounds...

Nice shootin' Coop,,,

Really,,,
Nice shot.

I'm curious though,,,
You say you were turkey hunting,,,
Why didn't you use your long gun on the hog?

I'm not ragging ya,,,
Just curious about it is all.

But look at the bright side here,,,
Now you can call your revolver "Sow Bane".

Just had #6's that's just enough to **** a hog off, bird shot is not a very good hog load...just left it at tree and went after them with revolver.

Definitely don't want a bunch of P'd off hogs on your tail.

Again, nice shooting,,,
You've given the Charter Arms haters something to chew on.

My lady friend has a Charter snubbie in .38 Special,,,
As well as a Charter pathfinder in .22 LR,,,
She loves her guns shoots 'em well.
