I posted these separately elsewhere, but I shot these two hogs in North Carolina a last month with the new Ruger Super Blackhawks in .454 and .480 Ruger. In the .480 I used Buffalo Bore's new reduced recoil .480 load that slings a 370 grain LFN at a leisurely 1,000 fps. It was one and done at about 45 yards (paced) and it was a high-shoulder shot. The .454 was stoked with Garrett Cartridge's new 365 grain hardcast .45 Colt +P load. The claim is 1,250 fps at the muzzle. That too was one and done at about 25 yards. I went for a high-shoulder but shot a hair low, it humped up, spun around and piled up. No bullets were recovered.   |

Nicely done. The Weigand mount continues to interest me. You can't argue with results like that.

It must be a LOT cooler there than it is here. We don't eat them till the weather cools down. It's so hot they would spoil before you could get one skinned unless you did it in a Locker. Yep you would have to get ice on it, and then get it to a locker right now. It has been in the mid 90s the last two weeks.

Forgive my ignorance bit would Johnston County lend itself to tomato based or vinegar based BBQ?
