Re: Big Boy .357 and Florida pigs
wish I could help but I have no personal experience with the preparation .... that said, I have tasted more than enough to know it is an art form .... I've had some I could eat (didn't say enjoy) and much more that I couldn't ....ditchparrot wrote:No personal experience.

Its better than domestic hog! Put a shoulder roast in the crock pot with taters, carrots celery, onions and enjoy! Congrats! One of the finer wild game meats you'll eat!

We had a party at a friends house and smoked a wild hog that my son shot. If I remember correctly, we used some dry rub only. I thought it turned out really good.

Great shot and good job! The only issue with hardcast bullets is a lack of expansion and little to no shock value. However hardcast bullets GENERALLY out penetrate jacketed soft points/hollow points by a large margin.

JNG3's comment got me wonderin, was your shot a pass thru? If not, were you able to recover the bullet?

Re: Big Boy .357 and Florida pigs
just curious, in your practice firing the Buffalo Bore loads prior to the hunt that you mentioned earlier I'd appreciate your assessment of the muzzle blast, recoil, muzzle jump, point of aim and about anything else you may have noticed/experienced .... contrast with 158 grain bullets would be appreciatedditchparrot wrote:Many thanks for the recommendations I got here about the Buffalo Bore loads. I've still got 19 of those, and I hope to get the chance to squeeze off another one before too long.
