First Hog of 2009

Post by MDHogHunter »

Folks,
I've been seeing hogs in fields, along roads, but none of them are far from their holes. Finally got the reloads dialed in, and had some time to take a walk in the field this afternoon.

Sun shining, 50degrees and light winds. Only saw one hog, but got em! 147 yard head shot with the 32SBK @ 26.1gr of RE10x

My first of the year, 99 more to go to reach my goal.

I'd like to thank everyone one the board for providing much help and resources during my reloading process this winter. It's been a fun project and great cure for cabin fever!
