    Big Boar Down

    Big boar down. Well, big for our ranch considering it’s a low fence Texas hill country ranch. Shot was roughly 45 yards with my 6” FA M83/.44 magnum. Load was a 200 grain XPB over Enforcer at 1650 fps. I hit the hog on the high side and clipped his spine. Never took another step. Weighed 218#.

    Mom's Worst....

    My mom's cooking is spot on for everything, except cookies. For some reason she thinks cookies should be the consistency of hockey pucks. And in reality, they should be cooked with a flashlight. But she's mom - gotta love her...

Secondly, for deer, bear, hogs, a 44 will do everything you want without the excessive recoil. The calibers you mentioned are great and I own each but I’d ask...

    44 mag vs 10mm for grizzly

    44 magnum with a heavy cast bullet. 10 mm is a fine deer/thin skin round but it isn’t normally a grizzly stopper.

    Awesome opening weekend in Texas with handgun

    It’s pretty bad. We had a good rain about a week or two ago and that helped but overall, still very dry.
