Super pigs are the same thing but with larger cartridges like 284 win, wsm, Saum and even shorter Rem mags

Ie. I have a Rem Model 7 with a 15" 708 barrel (with dpt suppressor). Running 140gr nbts, its good for out to 400 yards max. I class that as a bush pig.

I also have a Tikka with a 17" 284win barrel (also dpt suppressor). I normally run 162gr Amax in that which carries enough energy and velocity to be usable on deer out to 700 yards. Id class that as a Super bush pig.
