Good stuff.

I could never get 320gn's to stop inside a pig.


I see you have a Yamaha, what's your view on Yam vs Honda vs the rest ? Currently looking.

---

500.
For a start the yamaha is $3000 cheaper.
It is belt drive like the rotor on a header,nice and simple.
No gear changing.

Will carry me (112kg) and my two dogs (70kg between them) around all day.

My father has two of them on the place with the older one having 22 000 kms on it without a problem.

I haven't found an expanding bullet that will exit a mature pig when shot end on.
That includes my 404 with 400 grain RN.

Yet the same bullet will exit a scrub bull.

I think the pig "soaks" up the energy by moving with the bullet where as a bull is ridgid.
That's my theory.

Yes Neale I am not sure of the science of that theory but you will remember many times we have found the same thing with goats too. I remember well that day we stalked the mob at your dad's and watched them from a "very" close vantage point. A wonderful afternoon with a mate watching nature at play as all the young billy's jousted amongst themselves, but even then as on many occasions since the 9.3 did not exit with your frontal chest shot. Poor young Billy ended up with a 286 grain testicle

That was a good day indeed.

But that was a 320 grain PP in his "Kiwi's" which was my first 320 recovered.

Thanks for you comments fella's.

Daryl, I'm waiting for you. !!! Tell your wife to semi retire.

Went again this morning but............that's another story.

Where I am we don't get a lot of real big pigs like the NT and being that they live on grain here 8 months of the year they normally don't have very big tusks.

---

Living on grain does that make the pork more palatable?

I'm sure it does John.

Would rather eat them than ones living on dead animals/meat.

That's why our pigs are in good nic.

If you spill a shovel full of grain it will be gone in two days.

They are always on the march for grain.
