I don't care what anyone says. That's a cool shot right there. And done with a break barrel too.
Pip! Instant wooden leg syndrome.

Yeah, I'll never underestimate the power of a .22 caliber break barrel air rifle! That pig dropped like he'd been shot with my 45-70 Pedersali/Remington Rolling Block!!

Don't know if i missed it in the video but how many yards away were you? Awesome kill!

Good job Manny,I knew you would do it. My break barrel gole is a coyote. It would have to be a front on head shot at twenty yards but a good 22 Cal break barrel would do it. Again good job. Wolfer

Thanks all,...appreciate the comments.

Great stuff Manny. I was watching the video, saying to myself wait for it wait for it...squeeze, and the hog dropped. Great video. Can't say that enough. Congrats. I could hear the excitement in your breathing. Well done.

Many thanks for sharing Manny, what a super story from planning to perfect execution. I hope to join the piggy club soon, as last weekend about 20 piglets, two sows, and a boar crossed a ridge right in front of me, but not close enough for a shot. Will try again tomorrow and will have the .25 Condor on the prowl.

Congrats on a very successful hunt, & thank you for sharing this story. A lot of people get hung up on using a large caliber or more power when they go out hunting. You have just proven that all that size & power though they may be nice to have are not really needed, & that more can be done with less if you know your equipment, what you are doing & take the time to do the prep work and practice.

Manny if you arent careful you are going to run out of new methods for taking hogs before long ya know. So after you tire of springers whats next? Hog hunting with a wrist rocket & ball bearings perhaps

Nice hunt Manny,
Pretty good size hog for a springer as well. I know Crosman is loving it

Great Video and thank you for the experience, I have seen you shoot a few hogs on video and that one is the best

Good luck on the small bore pistol hunt when you get ready. Any idea of what pistol you may use?

Don't know yet, don't even know if I'll get one.

There's a few that are coming into the market soon and are really interesting but I'm not sure yet, kinda want to wait for reviews and at the same time I'm itching to preorder one and be amongst the first to start up

TexasInfidel · « **Reply #72 on:** March 13, 2016, 02:18:28 PM »

Solid Advert for that platform no doubt,good shooting

Regarding bones, I was "sure" about getting more penetration with the Baracuda Power (copper coated, 20% harder) than the Baracuda Match.

Just to let you know, I didn't do reliable penetration tests yet, but, yesterday, to my 350 I got some numbers from the chronograph:

Round numbers..

HN FTT 5.53 - 14.66 gr ... "20" fpe

HN BM 5.53 - 21.14 gr ......"22" fpe

HN BP 5.53 - 21.14 gr ..... "17" fpe !?!?

Any thoughts about this fpe behavior?

Not sure what your asking here!
Will this be enough for penetrating a hogs skull like Manny did on this one!!!!
Or if you asking why is there a difference in FPE compared to weight and pellet!!!

All pellets are different, shape, weight style and balance and dont forget what seals in the barrel better. What you get out the end of the barrel is what you get! Just because they weight the same or lighter means nothing!

nervoustrigger · « **Reply #75 on:** March 13, 2016, 04:16:07 PM »

If those are accurate muzzle energies, 22fpe versus 17fpe for pellets of the same weight, then something very strange is going on. A normally expected variation in bore friction and/or skirt sizing doesn't explain it.

Not sure how much rounding you have going on there but that's the difference between 600fps and 685fps.

Is that repeatable over 5 shots with each pellet? In the 17fpe result, you didn't alter the angle you were shooting across the chronograph, did you? Or testing using artificial light?

What does H&N BM and H&N BP mean ?

Manny - Barracuda Match and Barracuda Power.
Trigger, I think the difference might be that the BPs are copper coated and might not seal as well causing a loss of speed.

William · « **Reply #79 on:** March 13, 2016, 06:22:46 PM »

A difference of 85 FPS is nothing if the pellet does not seat good. My Springer is like that, a slightly loose pellet is 80 to 90 fps different (slower), also if i seat a pellet that was shooting 750 FPS into the barrel approx. 1/8" it will now shoot 660 FPS just because I seated it. I guess due to it not flaring out tighter after seating or something, and I experimented with this a lot so I know it is fact.

So each pellet will do its own thing and nothing has to be wrong with the chronograph or the gun!
