Badass. Best hunting video I have seen
What are the specs on guns and scopes. What kind of terrain?

Can't see how you can hit em with that no crosshair site! and that choice of rock brings me back to my youth. Nice vid I enjoyed it.

yes.. texas.
raider grad.. shouldn't you be repossessing some single mother's car or evicting an old lady from her home? (just kidding everyone. he's my banker)
the scope is a trijicon mark3 640 60mm. rifle is wilson 300 hamr, xlr stock, ultra 7 can, ssa-e trigger. been shooting speer 125gr tnt for a while. here's a vid from testing other bullets from 110 to 130.
the greater the magnification, the lower the resolution; like zooming a low density pic on your computer, gets grainy fast. the crosshair may not show up in the vids, but i see it in the scope. digital zooming limits how much of the crosshair is visible, like a ffp scope. at 3x, or 18power, the vid just shows a vertical bar. the mini dvr just records at 30 frames per second.
i don't usually add music unless i've complied a lot of kills. did this one for H at arp...

I have to admit...I’d put money down that DJ kills more hogs than anyone in the country. Dude has it in his blood and has pioneered the art to a level that most don’t even fathom!
I'm currently using a 6.5 Grendel for all my hog hunting here in OK.
Can you tell me a little more about the 300 Hamr?
How do the wound channels look?
What other calibers have you compared the Hamr to?

I shot a 6.8 for a few years before the hamr. didn’t change because I was disappointed with the 6.8, just like shooting different guns after a while. I don’t see much difference in the field between the hamr and the 6.8, and I suspect the grendel would be the same.
the advantage of the hamr is the standard 556 bcg and magazines. yea, hamr works better with blackout magazines, but you get the idea. no custom bolt or mags. if you have a 556 or blackout then you are just a barrel swap away from a more lethal killer. I’m not selling anything or representing anyone, and not trying to start a fight. just saying I’ve pig hunted with those calibers, and still do.. sometimes. just wouldn’t be my first choice when walking into a herd of hogs with the intent of killing all of them.
I started out with speer 130 hc fp. the wilson site said it was the bullet of choice for hogs, and it may well be for many. in wilson’s vids he mentions 70% weight retention, or something like that. however, I think that may be more important to a deer hunter shooting an unalarmed animal at 150 yards or less from a solid rest, hit right where it counts with minimal meat damage. here are some 130gr kills.
I don’t open up any animals to inspect the damage. some have nasty exit holes, some don’t. I hunt flat farmland, crop circles mostly, so I need to avoid ricochets. the ttx and ttsx seemed to be the most damaging in the 6.8, but they ricocheted badly so I stuck to 120gr sst’s.
the hamr is limited in the bullets. to stay under mag length some bullets would be seated too deep for the case mouth to grip the bullet. there are still plenty of good bullets, but the 125gr sst isn’t one of them, unless you cut the tip off. lol, a friend tried some of those too.
I liked the 110 hp and vmaxs. they were pretty explosive at hamr velocities but I just couldn’t convince myself they carried enough energy past 250 yards, not that I can hit anything that far anyway. I haven’t run any numbers on that so I could be way off. I think these are 110s. 2nd vid has a pretty far shot at 53 sec

Very informative post. Have you tried the 300 bo?
Specs say 2375fps for bo and 2600 for hmar for 110s

Awesome. I just traveled down there for some ham slamming and realized that I was a pure amateur. I shot a few hogs, but I used a light mounted to my gun...and my .223. I quickly found out that hogs have an uncanny ability to run like sons of bitches even when shot in the boiler room, and where I was it was into the nastiest, most thorny shit in the countryside. Shooting sticks or tripod, thermal scope, and a thermal scanner, along with a little bigger caliber will be in my arsenal if I ever get invited again. I managed to drop a few in their tracks with a neck shot, but they weren't sticking around very long as soon as my light was shining on them. Most of the time I pussed out and went for the shoulder. Did manage to get a few for the freezer and a decent boar for a euro mount, so I was happy. I could definitely see getting obsessed with hogs though, it was a ton of fun.
ds, i hunted many times with a blackout. don't know what the specs were. i started with hog hammer ammo, lol. catchy name huh. damm things nearly got me killed. then loaded all kinds of 110s and 125s. i really tried to like it but just couldn't take them down reliably. yea yea i know. shot placement. well maybe i'm just not that good of a shot. converted it to a pistol and use it for drive by shootings now. that is, driving into the herd and blasting as many as i can out the window.
ss, you'll go far kid. you'll go far!! i don't guide but "i know a guy", lol. he outfits his hunters with all the stuff you mentioned.
