Went out Sunday.  Definitely a lot of furry targets running about!

Sand Hollow was crawling with them Saturday.  I tried the grenades out finally.  They're messy.  All I found was the head, tail, and feet.  Too bad they're so expensive.  It not nearly as fun watching them limp away when I hit them with FMJ.

Don't you enjoy that lingering cloud of pink mist?  It's my fave!

Actually, I didn't see a mist with that one.  I thought I'd missed.  All I saw was the dust plume as I laid there on-scope about to start swearing (I *knew* I was on target when I fired).  Then a furry red chunk of aforementioned pig parts plopped down in front of the plume.  Nasty.

*Almost* cool enough to keep using them on pigs, but not quite.

It took me a while to figure how much my scope was off, but once I did...

For the record, 50 gr Varmint Grenades on 24.0 gr of H335 in Winchester brass and WSR primers out of my Rock River 20" Varmint.

Warning...these are nasty...















Above and below are the same piggy...only these were taken 20 yards apart...



Cannibalism has a price...

That's freakin' nasty! Thanks for sharing the load recipe!!!

The last time I saw that kind of carnage was with my .204 Ruger. You were pushing some serious fps there.

Thanks!  I should chrony those loads some day.  From the load data I collected, I'd guess they're around 3100 fps.  I don't care too much really.  I care about them one-holing at 100 yards which they do when I do my part.

Too bad I didn't have someone with a video camera out there.  The flying parts would have made great entertainment.

That's what my 220 Swift does to them. I load it down to 3800 fps. It's always who can make them fly the highest! Glad to see the population is back up a bit this year.

Despite the sky opening up and soaking me (yay for stainless steel), I sploded about a dozen more piggies this afternoon.  I say "about" because there were a few I couldn't verify.  I saw parts fly, but I couldn't actually find anything to confirm the kill.  Nasty.  Sorry, no pictures this time.  You'll have to take my word that the first kill was a head-shot.

These little buggers amaze me.  I popped one and two others hopped about a foot and started chomping on him before all his pieces hit the ground.  You have to wonder about a creature who, when the guy next to him explodes, thinks "Oooh...fresh food!" instead of "OMFG RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"  There is something very wrong there.  Yeah...I sploded one of the chompers, too.

I took my dad out yesterday and we shot a couple pigs and rock chucks and of course i forgot the camera.

Also missed a long (over 500 yrds) shot at a coyote that was stalking a badger (I missed that as well) ...but i think i found a new load for my .243 using a 58 grain V-max and varget pushing 3700 fps. It does beautiful things to small furry creatures.

Haha.  JollyRoger keeps saying that he's saving me from whistle pig assaults.  I never believed him.
