OK, boys - the Ossabaw hunt is on for Oct 7-9!!!!
The 7-08 and .308 are both tried & true out to 400yds....
Now IF things go well and I'm all bloody & happy, I'm thinking I should break out one or two old-schoolers just for entertainment. So - look at the list below & tell me which you'd like to see kill a pig! Choose gun AND caliber if several calibers are listed. Be aware that fair-chase and ethical hunt tactics will be dictated by the chosen arms, and that MOST listed are "proven" by me with my loads.
I'll post pics after the hunt & field all interesting questions.
