    Any experience using 7.62x39 Brown Bear 125gr Soft Points on Hogs?

    Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. I've been shooting all the 122gr to 125gr soft points and hollow points from Barnaul (the Bears), Tula, and Vympel (Golden Tiger). But I too have only shot paper with these. I'm hoping someone who has actually killed some hogs with some of these will...

    Best Bullet to Reload 7.62x39 for Hogs ????

    Thanks Chopperdrvr, That's what I needed to know. My rifle likes those with CFE BLK powder. It shoots Hornady soft points, Speer Gold Dots, and Sierra ProHunters just as accurately, but I haven't shot anything but paper with any of these. So I was unsure about which had the best terminal...

    Recommend me a red light headlamp

    I don't know if this is the right sub-forum for this. I plan to get a thermal scope to hunt hogs at night. I need a good, reliable red light headlamp to see my way to and from my blind or stand. It needs to be able to turn down at maybe 50 to 80 degrees to light the ground in front of me. It...

    Recommend me a Thermal rifle scope under $3k

    I've never been around any night optics. So I don't know what is normal. In daylight I usually use something in the 4x to 6x range. If 2.5x is considered fine by you that have "been there and done that" then I'm sure it would be fine for me.

    Have any of you used the Nosler 300 grain Ballistic (Orange) Tip in .458 SOCOM on game? I checked over on 458SocomForums, but apparently no one there has killed anything with it yet. What did you shoot with it? Hog? Whitetail? Other? What was the range at impact? What was the bullet's path...
