TSX runs compressed. I've got TAC-X is my most accurate fastest load at just under 3000 fps.

Nice shoot & nice video.
I have a soft spot for heavy-for-caliber cup & core projectiles.

First of all killing pigs is different than deer.I wouldn't shoot a big wild boar in the shoulder with any size rifle.Quartering away shots if you just have to shoot heart/lung.I shoot heart /lung occasionally but hate meat damage so 90% of the time I go head/neck shot.Some shots were inside 50 yards and some were way out there........400.Two failures to date and most likely my fault on both,running shots in low light. |

Almost all of my hog hunting anymore is done with a 6.5 Creedmore using 123 SST's. Granted they don't have the penetration of some bullets, but do a great job if placed correctly.
A lot of hog hunting in my area is done around very dense woods and using tough bullets that will penetrate through a hog often time allow the hog to make it some distance before going down which results in lost animals. Using the SST bullets in the neck or frontal areas of the hog seem to drop them instantly by doing major damage internally and upsetting their central nervous system. |

My one time hog hunting (in Georgia), I took a 8x57 mauser, which penetrated more than sufficiently, but it took only 1 of the 3 I shot. I had borrowed a Ruger 44 mag Super Redhawk, as a "back up." Well when they're 50 feet from you, running through the trees as pack, that bolt gun gets a little cumbersome and the revolver starts making a lot of sense. It was a little too much gun, sort of... but oh man was it fun!
I'd like to do some more hog hunting, but we don't have them up here in my part of VA, and I imagine wishing out loud for some to migrate north would result in having my jaw broken by any number of local farmers. Perhaps I'll seek out a host down south!
