My buddy's first hog with his new Cooper
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2010 8:52 pm
My buddy just picked up a new Cooper MTV in 204 Ruger a couple months ago. He finally got a chance to nail this hog tonight. He put a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x40 LR with VHR on it and loves everything about it. I loaded it up for him with 40 grain Nosler BT over 26.0 grains of Benchmark. This pic was taken on my farm and the shot was approx 270 yards. In the pic with him holding the hog, the alfalfa field where this big guy was is over his left shoulder in the field at the top. I wasn't even looking at the hog when he shot, all I heard was the "THWOPP" and I knew that it was a definite hit. The bullet went in at the left shoulder and came out just infront of the right shoulder. Not a whole lot of carnage from the outside.
) Good shooting!
