My buddy TJ and I went on a hog shoot yesterday. We killed these 6 in one afternoon. TJ was shooting his 44 SBH Hunter and I was shooting my FA 44 Magnum. TJ also shot one of the little pigs with his 10mm Glock. Oh and I had shot one in the morning so that was 7 total.

Nice! We need some close-ups of that 44, it's sweet.

WOW stack'em up!!!
I think one of the small ones should be in the roaster by now stuffed with apples, garlic, and all kinds of spices. Turning slowly over a nice low hardwood fire. Man I'm getting hungry.

We just finished processing the meat and I threw one of the little shoulders on the grill for about 90 minutes and it was fantastic. TJ and I both are shooting handloads of max loads of 296 and Remington 240 gr. JHP's. I sort of rediscovered those 44 bullets when I happend to shoot a box of factory Remington's last year and killed a cow elk. The best part is that they are relatively inexpensive at 200 per 1000 for the projectiles.

Is that the 240 grain semi-jacketed hollow-point?

We went to a small place about 40 miles N. of Austin. http://www.dbhuntingranch.net They were offering 2 hogs for $100 and they were meat hogs which was perfect because that's what we wanted to shoot.

How'd these bullets do when you opened up the pigs for butchering? Anything interesting to report?

I have run thru about 1,000 of the Rem 240gr SJHP. In both the 44 mag SRH and the 445 Super Mag barrel I had. Both shot them very well. The 445 was sending them down range at 2,000 fps. I shot them into a melted heavy packed snow bank (almost ice) at 30 yards and they penetrated about 30". The bullet mushroomed well and held together for the most part. Here is what I recovered.

I have seen similar performance from the Rem 210 gr SP 41s in a 41 mag. Hole in one side & big hole out the other. I have been impressed with them.
It's more important where you hit 'em, than what you hit 'em with.
