ditto. How could he have a wrist left?

The weight of the revolver (average 6lb) tames the recoil of the 500 pretty well. It's nothing compared to my 38oz modified Ruger Redhawk in .475 Linebaugh (405gr @ over 1400FPS). That one will put hair on Ann Coulter's chest.

I was going to get the head mounted and the rest turned into sausage but my witness peed on the body.

Mouse offended me.

Mouse got dead and mouse got peed on.

Old school retribution.

Looks like some of the monster hogs are really domestic pigs that were fattened up - not sure about this one. I know some guys who hunt gators on private reserves and they get 12+ ft every hunt. Gators get fed regularly and are fattened up for the hunt every year.

It may have been posted already, but I truely believe this is a photoshopped picture...

It just doesn’t look right...

Hogs do get pretty big...But they don’t get “that” big...

Heavy??? Possibly...

The largest feral hog I’ve every shot was about a little over 300 lbs., and they are getting to be a bit troublesome in the numbers and range (they roam) they keep up in N.E. Texas...

There’s no season, or bag limit I know of for these things, so thats why maybe they are making a bit more news like this lately...

I stand to be corrected, but then again I’ve only shot the things on our property up there...

Look at the disparagin scale in how the boy and the father look in relation to the hog on the ground in pics in post #21 and post #28...

Both are to be assumed they are leaning or right up against the hog in the pictures...

The son is a pretty big boy...

In #21, he looks extremely smaller than he does when he’s sitting next to the pig in #28...

The pictures are fabricated...Its not hard to do...

Just look at the “Rosie” picture in an earlier post on this thread...You’ll see...Now thats realistic!!!

look at the gun, its stinking huge, and there’s a huge compensator on the end. it’s very possible the kid was using full house loads.

Yes, it is possible. Once. Seven more accurate shots after that the kid has got to be on steroids.

I own several of these from 8 inches to 2 inches. Just seems a stretch with full-house loads.

My choice is a ruger special run bisley black-hawk SS in 45LC. With the +P corbon ammo that the ruger will handle it will stop a bear (already has and not by choice) or a big hog.
My choice of rifles is a little bit off beat. I prefer the 280AI stoked with 170 Nosler CT bullets running out at just under 3000 FPS. If it doesn't bite back the 280AI gets the call. The AI has taken black bear, moose, elk, deer, and hogs with a single well placed shot. To tell you the truth I don't remember how many animals I have harvested with my 280AI.

An Ackley Improved? Good grief, my old copy of Phil Sharpe's Complete Guide to Handloading (1951?) has a whole section on that cartridge!

You know, with the .348 Win in my stable, I have absolutely no room to fuss at anybody who likes wildcats or orphans . . . .
