Double Naught Spy
Sus Venator
I saw on another forum where one of the smaller ammo makers had some Grendel ammo in stock. I have been shooting their stuff for a while now, but this was a new bullet I had not tried and so was quite pleased when I managed to snag 2 boxes loaded with Maker Bullets 110 gr. REX.
I got to the range for a quick verification of zero and to chrono the ammo. Shooting from the bench is not where I excel. This was rather down and dirty but managed a bimodal 1.5 moa that was slightly off center from straddling my POA and with a slight adjustment, was good to go.
While I always have plans as to what I think may happen in the field, they rarely go as I expect and this hunt was no exception. The first was a daylight hog showing up before I was even really ready. Later, as I was loading the hog up in my truck (in the field), light on, cussing and moaning because I was trying to do most of the work without my left hand (braced), a sounder showed up and started grazing close by. I shot at them for a while and the survivors ran off, but only into the next field, so I went after them. 3/4 of a mile into the chase, gave up and headed back to the truck, only to find another sounder close by. I dropped one from this group (the rest ran into the cattle) and that I later tabulated was my 1500th hog kill. Got all the dead pigs loaded up and headed to deposit them in the bone yard on the next property and ran into a group of hogs there, apparently, the same group I had killed a couple from on the previous hunt.
I hope you enjoy the video. There is a goodly amount of decent shooting, but not a lot of wasted ammo.
