Thread: 30 30 reloads

few things to consider that havent been mentioned and are often overlooked

bailed pigs you can go one of three ways
hit em with something with shit ton of whoomph...like 30/30----44mag and blow big hole in the important bits,with some room for error..may or maynot exit
hit em accurately with a lighter load that will pretty much explode inside and not exit,I put 222----223 in this bracket..and a load like you suggesting too
hit them VERY accurately with a subsonic big heavy load...piss poor shooting WILL NOT cut the mustard here.


the balancing act
you want enough power to kill pig quickly out right
you dont want too much power to destroy half the pig or zip out other side and risk dogs
you can have heaps of penertration ------heaps of expansion -----heaps of both---or stuff all of either..all will work with above in mind
workout what yo uwant/need load to do and go from there
there was member who was often in other pub who shot LOTS of pigs..used .22magnum and his huge ferocious pack of dogs consisted of a single foxy and if having trouble he brought out the real big guns and employs 2nd foxy to help keep pigs contained..well actually 3/4 of foxy is possibly more accurate as had one leg missing
its all about balance
