90 pound sow vs .300 win. mag

[histopicker]

Sorry about the poor quality of this video. It was re-recorded off from a T.V. onto an I-phone. E-mailed and then uploaded. A friend of mine invited me to the exotic game ranch he was running to kill a hog. Just after I moved to Texas. Bad mistake on my part. After this I spent many hours "helping out" on that ranch on several occasions.

Always a pleasant sight to see 'em go down and stay put.

LOL no zombie hog there! She knew something was wrong but just could not leave the tempting corn!

 

[histopicker]

The golden nuggets of death. Crack for hogs!
One thing that was wrong is the feeder failed to go off.

Are you going to get that .30-06 Andre?

 

[Andre Lopes]

Are you going to get that .30-06 Andre?

Yes my friend, but you can not imagine the bureaucracy and the time we take here in Brazil to purchase weapons ... will be around 6 months of waiting! Damn anti-gun!

 

[histopicker]

What about ammunition for it. Is it difficult to get also? I know you said .243 ammo was like $5.00 each round.

We're not THAT bad.... YET.

Glad to hear you're gonna be snagging that rifle up.

My dear friend Histopicker!
We'll get the ammo 30-06, but will probably be more expensive than the value of 243 ammo. But here we practice quite a handload. With this, we have the process cheaper.
The problem is that we have only one factory ammunition for civilian use here in Brazil. Is that manufactures the brand Magtech. By Magtech can buy gunpowder, brass cases, primers and projectiles. In addition, the company Magtech acquired the company Sellier & Bellot and got good hunting ammunition, but the high prices.

 

[Ratdog68]

Hmmm.... I hadn't heard that Magtech had purchased S&B. S&B's 6.8 SPC ammo hasn't had the popularity of other brands, in that they've been using large rifle primers. I'd seen that they'd switched to small rifle primers for this caliber though... and have been interested in trying it, when I find some.

Since I've been saving my brass over the years, I have a good supply of .30-06 brass.

I am sorry it is so difficult for you to get. Just remember the .30-06 in that lever action rifle will generate much more recoil than your .243. You will enjoy.

I can not wait to try this recoil!
It even reminds me of a story I heard when they asked for a Marine what it felt like to shoot at the insurgents, and he said: I feel... the recoil!

 

[Ratdog68]

I put up a thread for you (Andre) in the ammunition/reloading section. That is... if you decide you prefer less recoil from a .30-06.
