So when are you going to take a hog with .177?
Interesting....hog with a .177. If anyone can get it done brother Manny can. We have some hogs running around here up north and it's a shoot on sight and just report their location. I would more then enjoy getting up there with one of my Magnum .177 springers and put in the time scouting, setting up and dropping some bacon. We be watching brother Manny and have no doubt your up for the challenge. Ed

In the meantime I tested penetration on a taped tight 1/2" Phonebook and I was getting complete pass through, ........that alone tells me that I'm already looking good Those .177 pellets are soooo cute
