Worked up a load to shoot hogs with FPB's

[SWThomas]

Some of the members here requested that I knock over one of these hogs with an FPB. I worked up a load today that I'm satisfied with. 100g BH209, FPB and a CCI 209M primer. These FPB's seem to like a dirty bore better than a single primer fouled bore. I may fire a shot off before I get into the blind just to make sure I get good accuracy. I'm going to go sometime this week. I'll post a story and pics of the damage as usual. 8)

i've killed several hogs with the FPB bullet and it works well. This this past Saturday i killed a 185 pound boar with that bullet. The bullet hit the hog behind the shoulder and low-DRT. My powder load is 120 grains of Goex 2F Pinnacle. The Encore makes 2.5-3" groups at 100 yards with that bullet.

That sounds promising. Got any pics?

My bad, I'll have to check when I get home. I didn't see a pic but my work computer doesn't always allow them to be shown.

Take some time off Chuck... I'll put you on some swine. 8) Hell, maybe you could even get a deer. Our rut is toward the end of October.

No luck yet fellas. The hogs have eluded me again. I moved my feeder back to the spot that's frequented by larger hogs. They had rooted up the entire area like a tractor had been in there. I'm gonna let my feeder marinate for a few days and then see what I got on the trail cam.

Good Luck bro! My Omega likes the FPB with 85 gr. of BH. I'm looking forward to seeing your results.
