Spring time pig

[Dave Roelle]

I took some time for a little hunting r&r, the Shiloh Sharps got the job done again------one shot one pig DRT. Shooting from a steady rest against a handy tree the slug literally seemed to knock her to the dirt, didn't even twich---------the slug is probably stuck in a mesquite tree.

I had scouted some fresh rooting at the edge of a pasture, set up there about an hour before dark, ranged the spot---set the sights and waited. Dark was about 30 minutes away when 4 mature pigs and a bunch of little pigs eased out of cover and moved into the pasture, touched off the round and ducked under the smoke to see the pig just flattened----what fun.

She's in the freezer ready for a BBQ in about 2 weeks

Same basic load with a tad bit more powder, just cause it would fit---45,2.1---500 grain BACO Creedmore Patched to 0.448/0.449 O.D.--milk carton wad --lube cookey---milk carton wad under the bullet.
