Unbelievable hunt this morning. Saw no less than 20 different deer and at one point I had 14 between all four windows of my blind. At 7:30 A.M. every deer straight in front took off like they were hit with a hot shot. I didn?t even wait to see what it was and immediately reached for my hearing protection. I knew it was hogs. This sow and three others showed up seconds later. This one was quartering to me slightly at about 60 yards so I put the red dot tight against the front shoulder and let the 460 take care of the rest. Excellent blood trail to follow though only one hole in the swine. I?m calling this pig ?chorizo?...  
The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.

Good Shooting. Hogs will run off everything around a feeder.
The 460 did it again with your help. Curious what load you used on it?

Factory Hornady for now. The 200 grain ftx. Still working on a hand load I?m happy with.

RANDY: LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE REALLY LIKING THE 460. ARE YPOU HAPPY WITH THE RED DOT vs. A SCOPE? Love this 460. Started out with iron sights and that will always be my favorite way to hunt. But aging eyes and a desire to shoot it beyond 50 yards lead to the red dot. So far I really like it.

Great Job Randy.
Red Dots work pretty well. My 480 SRH has had a 30mm Ultra Dot on it since it came out of the box.
