Better use bleached flour for the blonde ones…..Flours for the first date!
My dad was from here but trained down there.. he said "If you laid all the girls in paso robles end to end.. I wouldn't be surprised."Sounds like you hit the wet spot….
Sounds like that'd make for a slow night.My dad was from here but trained down there.. he said "If you laid all the girls in paso robles end to end.. I wouldn't be surprised."
Hey *WAIT*. Are You Guys knockin' me about my Boar Post?My dad was from here but trained down there.. he said "If you laid all the girls in paso robles end to end.. I wouldn't be surprised."
These words here.I would suggest....
A controlled expanding bullet....in the weight range of 150 -180.
What brand or type...?
One that shoots well from your rifle.
Luckily this ammo can be of the older , long used variety...
Like Remington Core-Lokt , Federal Power-Shok , Winchester Silver tip...
This ammo is as a general rule easy to find and a bit less expensive.
Finding this out however , will take time , practice and money.
As for range...
I would suggest practicing from 25 - 100 yards...with a 100 yard zero.
Seeing as how I ain't sure of where you are hunting...and what the terrain is like there.
Find what distance you can consistently make good hits at.....
And stick with that...do not be tempted to push your luck with a game animal.
Speaking of hunting and terrain....
Practice hunting shots...not just shots from the bench.
Hunting shots as in :
Off hand...
With a improvised field rest...
In the rain...in the heat....
In poor light...
When you tired and hungry...
If you can ...Take a few hikes with your rifle....get used to carrying and handling it after a long day....
If possible and if it can safely be done...shoot after doing such things.
Hunting and shooting at a range are two very different things.
One can be an excellent range shot...but a poor hunting shot.

It is a bit larger than it should be. Should I try a heavier or lighter bullet? Or just try a different brand of ammo? Also I may just need more practice. My heartbeat is throwing off my shots, I think.That round will be fine for hogs. They are tough critters, no doubt, but they are not bullet proof. Hit them well and they will be down.
I'd be more concerned with the 6-inch group at 200. That's a bit larger that I'd like to see.
Dude whats the Twist on your barrel? It should say on there somewhere.I fired 10 rounds including six rounds at 200 yards, which formed a 6 inch group.
According to the Henry website the twist rate is 1:10. It has a 22 inch barrel. Single shot .308Dude whats the Twist on your barrel? It should say on there somewhere.
but skeery because you never know when you'll meet up with a monster at zero yards..
OK, 165 or 168 should be right in the sweet spot. Were you shooting off bags? Not sitting or standing? I'd hope to see closer to 3 inches at 200.According to the Henry website the twist rate is 1:10. It has a 22 inch barrel. Single shot .308
I was sitting at a wooden shooting table and shooting off bags. However, I had one hand under the forend to try to simulate a hunting situation, instead of resting the forend on bags which I probably wouldn't have in the field. I could clearly see the crosshairs of my scope bouncing with my heartbeat and I tried to time the shot between heartbeats, but the bouncing was more than I expected. I do not have a lot of experience shooting with scope magnification as most of my rifles have red dots instead.OK, 165 or 168 should be right in the sweet spot. Were you shooting off bags?

OK yeah. I think if your left hand was under the butt of the stock from a bench you could have done 3 inches.I was sitting at a wooden shooting table and shooting off bags.
