Putting down an aggressive hog (400 lbs) doesn't require a heavy caliber rifle. Watch Jim Thomas displays excellent markmanship while taking down a 400 pound wild hog.
What is surprising is that Jim was only using a subsonic .22LR bullet. To be exact he was sporting a suppressed Ruger 10/22 rifle equipped with an ATNX-Sight for night vision. Like a seasoned hunter Jim waited for the hogs to show and loitering at the bait area.
From 50 yards away Jim spots the big hog among others that had been giving them problems on his property in the past.
With great skills Jim puts a .22 round into the temple of the hog and puts it down on the spot. See the rest of .22 subsonic.
They wanted more blood! Always with the blood!
Good luck on the surgery.
I used to work for this old boy that was raised in N Dakota.
When he was 5 his daddy gave him a 22 rifle.
He said he pointed it at the neighbors pig and that pig laid down, he made all the pigs lay down.....
Floyd was kinda an arsehole :)
Loads of BS wrong.
bttt
yes it does
I bet this thread on FR gets more hits than AM Shooting journals blog on the topic.
See how this **** works? :)
Shweet. I’ll try some.
Thanks
BUMP
Due to the low velocity and high weight on this cartridge it will tumble and keyhole, but Travis has the solution, a faster twist barrel.
You could have quick swap barrels on the 10/22 take down, but that is not what it was designed for, this is quiet and close with a thump
Well it is hencho en mexico
10-4 *<;o)~
Did any of the suppressed stuff make it into an Alpha Charlie Concepts video? I’ve seen some of the unsuppressed SSS stuff.
“Medulla oblongata..”
Extra credit for that reference.
You’ll love it.
That has not been my experience using the 60gr Aguila. Sure it shoots dirty, so what? I have not jammed my rotary mags after shooting 100s of rounds of 60gr. You are only getting 2+” groups at 25 yards? I shoot 5 shot groups and get many cloverleafs, 4/5 shots under 1”, and maybe a flyer to open it up to 1.5”. For what it is, it works for me.
Most of the time I shoot Federal 22 Auto Match 40gr, and it’s slightly more accurate and consistent. (I buy both in bulk)
But the 60 grain subsonic is meant to be quiet and hit hard. I can ring 18” steel targets at 200 yards all day once the range/holdover is worked out. It really takes a while to get out there, Pow.......ding. That’s good enough for me.
Maybe he got a bad lot and I got some good ones.
No suppressed Alpha Charlie videos with 22LR that I know of.
