375 Winchester.
I have one and it is a great round45 Colt. Because they don’t make a 46. Have four rifles that shoot it. I like it.
It’s been a few years. But the first big hog was about 75(?) yards up hill. The second was about 50 yards at a dead sprint. Sounded like I’d hit both of them with a baseball bat. How I heard that I’ll never know.Nice Hogs. We used to catch them alive with ropes and dogs when I was younger probably 25 years ago but stupidly dangerous. My brother in law just took some with his 35 Remington. How far out were you when you took those?
PM sent in just a sec.Good idea and it’s probably the best jacket 444 bullet there is. I didn’t want to trim my brass so I rented a throat reamer and reamed mine out till they would chamber
50 yards at a sprint from a big hog is a good shot. People don’t realize how fast they can move, faster than Usain Bolt, the fastest man aliveIt’s been a few years.

They are crazy fast. And not much can stop them once they get moving. Swung through her like I was shooting teal with a tad less lead. It was like those guys over in Europe hunting them in drives. But I’m NOWHERE NEAR as good a shot as they are. And I’ll never pretend I am. I got lucky.50 yards at a sprint from a big hog is a good shot.

I did get a few ducks this winter but not as many as I would like!They are crazy fast. And not much can stop them once they get moving.

I have grown very fond of the .450 Bushmaster. My little Ruger Ranch is surprisingly accurate with my handloads and it does a great job on the deer here in Southern MI.

I think that’s everyone’s dreamYou and me both. It's becoming more and more versatile with some casting in the future paired with a suppressor. It has a definite thump on both ends, feels like a 308Win.
Would love to take an elk with one, at a manageable distance under 100 yards, with a good performing bullet.

I've got a suitable suppressor in jail right now and am debating either a 450 or a 45-70
As far as cartridge aesthetics go, I like the looks of :
.35 rem
6.5 Grendel
.257 Weatherby Mag
They just look good to my eye.
While the .219 Donaldson Wasp is a bit odd these days, and kinda cool..........its based off the .30-30 win and I detest rimmed cartridges.
Have never liked them (my dad did and was a .45-70 fan).
Once I go through the .219 ammo I might get the #3 rebarreled to 6.5 Grendel.
