Congrats bro, your mug is one here with a big pig at least monthly.

Cool you used to guide Santa Barbara, I am havin fun stompin around here, but have yet to find a pig anywhere with cutters like that, hell his wetters are 2".

Maybe it's time to go to a .375 H&H, federal loads tsx's for it. If you're guiding, you might carry one as a stopper.
A big pencil hole is better than a little one.

I've been meaning to try some MRX's and have the setup for .270. Maybe we could get together on it. Do you have email?

BTW, nice pig

I am no expert on reloading, so ask around about this, but I've heard the most accurate brass is the brass that your own rifle has already shot. in essence, the brass will be "form fitted" to the inside of your rifle.

You can re-use spent cartriges 2 or 3 times in a magnum round before tossing them away, but always make sure to examine and measure to confirm the brass hasn't cracked, gotten too brittle or too thin.

The more homogenous your brass, the more reproducable the ignition will be, and the more accurate your rounds will be. If you buy bulk brass get it all from the same lot and same manufacturer. It's the same with bullets - even a different production lot from the same company can cause changes in accuracy!!! Try to use all of your brass once through. then twice through. then a 3x if it's still safe to use. Make hash marks with a black marker so you know how many times it's been fired. When one starts to crack toss the rest of that used brass in that reloading lot.

thats about all i know.

Man that's a nice boar Hatchet

Westy has a bunch of 7mm brass available after this past weekend's hosing down of a pig.

And the others wondered why I was stuffin rounds in his pocket when we headed out.

I've recently worked up a load for my 7mm Rem Mag using an unusually light 120 grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullet. This load is for antelope so the light bullet will get out there fast and actually holds the wind pretty well. I tried this load on a small pig in August (maybe 130 pounds) and a spine shot made a pretty big mess. The pig just rolled over and did not move, spine was pretty much blown out. Probably the light bullet moving 3300 fps and hitting relatively heavy spine was the right combo.

Leaving for Wyoming in the morning and plan to aim for the shoulder to make sure that goat hits the deck...

I would like to try the E-tips, just ordered some 150 grainers for the 7mm. I have a cow elk tag for December so I should be able to report back on how well they open up....
