Don't worry Brian Shaffer, it was ONLY for one night! Instead of using my 6.5 Grendel, I borrowed dad's LMT 6.8. Dad had some of the older Wilson Combat 95gr. TTSX's listed at 2850fps so I was curious to see how they'd do.

It rained non stop and I finally saw movement through my bino's that time of dusk when you can't see your wires anymore. Dad had put on a red Elusive Wildlife Kill Light and this was the first time using it. I was a little skeptical but I lowered the light very very slowly on the hog positioned 55 yards out. It paid no attention to me. I thought it was a lone boar we had been seeing but turned out to be a 150lb spotted sow. The 95gr. bullet DRT'd the hog with a quartering neck/shoulder shot.

Those TTSX bullets are pretty amazing. I have a box of them still sitting on the shelf for the 6.8. I use them in just about everything I have

Very nice but I see you have truly been blinded by the 6.5 dark side. Welcome to the rebel alliance!

As long as it was just one time. We Grendeliers gotta stick together...

Nice hog. I don't see too many lone sows. I think I have killed only one. Makes you wonder where the sounder is...
