.357 load for wild hog hunting?

[Skip Sackett]

Yep, I always try for a direct humane hit on roaches, that's why I use Black Flag Insecticide (This stuff just kills me!)

Um, Paul, um, well, I don't know just how to say this but.......if Black Flag kills you, then you have the nozzle pointed the wrong way!

As the vernacular of the day would state: "Just sayin' "

I haven't had a TV since 1975, but there was a Black Flag commercial in that time period that had a dying cockroach saying,"This stuff just kills me!", as a selling point for killing cucarachas.

IMO using a short barrel .357 Magnum revolver on wild hogs is ill advised. (and I really like the .357 Magnum for most jobs) BUT, if you were to use one I would suggest a 180gr WFNGC Cast Performance bullet over a stiff charge of W296 or Lil'Gun. That bullet will punch through a hog fairly well...

I gotta agree, AACD. I killed a 300lb boar w/ my 8" Colt Python. You DEFINITELY need a hardcast solid to penetrate and break bones. If I hunt boar again, I'll be totin' either my .44 Magnum or my .45 Colt S&W Mountain Gun, loaded with the heaviest hardcast bullets that I can find.......

Well, praise God! I haven't had one since I was that age too! It just so happens to be like, 1985! Old timer! That's when I was your age, 10 years after you were that age! If you get my joke! (Raised 5 kids without a boob tube!)

And here I was, thinking 125 gr Sierra JHCs should do the job just fine. I just need to find a hog that's willing to let me experiment on it.

I'm not worried about what will kill em, when in the woods with em, I want a gun/load combo that will STOP em, I don't care if it kills them or not.

If one attacks you, it ain't gonna stop until you kill it.......
