Found this picture the other and had forgot about it. Got lots of individuals that say 223 doesn’t kill very well, or that you need perfect placement. These were 3 out of 7 that were recovered. The other 4 fell where we could leave them laying. 10 hogs in the sounder. 2 shooters, both of us shooting 75 Gr BTHP Hornady in tightish mesquite pasture. In an open field we’d have had opportunity to wipe all 10 out. Then again we may have missed too haha

Or in my case used as a spotter to find the heat then confirm with rifle if it is pig deer cow etc. Or for final walk up after initial spot save the battery on the rifle scope for when it is actually needed.

Question for you folks running a bolt gun with a thermal for pigs. How many shots y'all usually average on a group? And what size mags y'all usually run assuming your using a dbm style rifle?
Curious how a .243 or .22-250 with a 10 rd aics mag would do with a thermal on top for big groups of pigs.

They key to the bolt gun is patience. With the AR if I missed I had an instant follow up. I shot a LOT. With a bolt gun I’ve got to make my shots count. Typically I do.

Here is a quick video from a thermion XM50. Had the brother in law on it for the first 2 groups. He had fun to say the least haha Last group was me running the gun. Shooting .223 55 gr sp. Ended up with 6 in the truck for the night. Crunchy cut wheat and a bright moon made for tough stalks. Should have had more in the truck but was letting him play with the scope so did cost us some pigs but was still fun.
