Shot this sow this evening while she was digging in my hay field.
Range finder said 224 yards, and the old triple deuce did a fine job. She never moved after the shot, those 50 grain V-Max bullets are keen! There was no exit wound, but according to my field post-mortem the guts were so much jelly. Here's the rifle:
Just a plain, cheap Springfield 840. Nothing special, but very accurate. I had planned to swap the 6x40 Bushnell for a 3x9 Nikon, but I think I may hold off for now. Seems to do just fine.
Anyone else shooting 'chucks yet?
