I was living in Colorado and bought a Ruger Model 77 Hawkeye in .338 Win Mag, it had no problem droping a bull elk at 280 yards. I really like the gun and scope so I put down the AR for hogs. My reloads as of now are 200 grain Winchester Ballistic Tips with 75 grains of IMR 4831 coming out of the barrel a little over3,000fps. Here are a few pics since I got back in the Long Star State.

NICE!!! You need a Mini-Sniper by Sniper Hawg Lights mounted on your rifle. I have one and it definitely lights up the hogs at a good distance!!! Great pics Bro!!! Congrats on WHACKING those pigs!!!

You are welcome Brother!!! Stay after 'em!!! Did you hear about the Destroyer by Sniper Hawg Lights? It is coming out soon. It is a sweet light. You will be able to see well past 200 yards with it. I can't wait to test it out!!!

Green huh? Well let me know how that works. I am sold on red. I have only had one hog spook with the red led. And I hunt right on top of the hogs.



Good Luck
