5 for 5 hog video
Here's a highlight video of my recent hog hunt in Uruguay. (It's for Garydude's viewing pleasure, but I'm sure he won't mind sharing.)

Hey Andy, those hogs taken with a .243? Looked like plenty of rifle for the job. Also can you say what grain bullets you used? Many thanks. |

Re: 5 for 5 hog video
Yep, took 'em with the guide's .243 and factory-loaded ammo. Not sure, but I think 100-grain bullets. It proved quite lethal for head shots at 70 to 80 yards. A friend in FL hunts hogs with a .22 Hornet. "Be patient and aim for the ear," he says.
I prefer a .270 for all-around deer hunting, but I've also used a .243 to take alligator, pronghorn, whitetail & mule deer. I'm not the only one who likes wild pork. On strict orders from my wife, we sneaked some fresh backstraps past Brazilian customs on the way home. |

Re: 5 for 5 hog video
Thats awesome. And I agree on the .243 being plenty of gun for hogs. The trick is indeed to whisper in thier ears, its the best way to lay em down for slaughter. I personally favor 85 gr sierra gamekings but I also use 105 gr Amaxes. My .243 has an 8 twist barrel so the 105s shoot very well.

Re: 5 for 5 hog video
I haven't shot, or hunted hogs, in many years. Might have to get back into it. Awsome vids you are posting! I love watching them!
