Spent the last couple of days chasing pigs with son #3, Tony. He used a Ruger 250 AI loaded with the Barnes 100 gr TSX at 3100 fps.   I had to join in and used a 275 gr WFN at 1200 fps in an OM SBH.   A great trip and a soon to be freezer load of sausage and a couple of smoked hams. |

Dang those are some serious cutters on that pig. You have to love it, the man has a safe full of great custom revolvers and he takes a 40 year old Ruger 44mag! I guess the classics never go out of style!

I guess the classics never go out of style! You nailed it. I looked at many of the toys and thought the SBH should get the nod. I kicked around using the Keith load too but found a very old box of CPBC 275 WFN's that I had never tried. They grouped very well at 50 yards behind H4227 so off they went hunting. The OMSBH is "original" hunting revolver IMO and will never be a bad choice. I just received my Colorado elk tag in the mail after 5 years of trying so I will ponder the same for that hunt soon. Yes those teeth are pretty healthy. The snout of mine is currently spending time in a fire ant pile in the back of the property being cleaned for a tooth pulling. The little guy is having his skull boiled, bleeched, bugged or what ever they do to allow a skull mount. |

How did you get a Colorado elk tag already? Applications are due April 6th. I have to decide what I am going to do this fall to break through this handgun elk jinx I have right now...
Does that old SBH have ivories on it? It looks classic as hell, especially with a dead pig.
