Any-Who, I was sighted in at 100 yards before the hunt and check my zero after missing the yot, I was drilling them at 100 yards.
Talked to my guide (co-worker) at lunch today and he said with out a doubt " You smacked that pig right behind the front left leg".
I'll be ordering a .452 sizing die next week and am going to be sizing down the vast assortment of 45-70 bullets available for hand load hunting rounds, but will try the factory hornady rounds next time out.
He's going right back up this weekend and says he'll save a side plate for me to experiment with. I've got a ton of 240's loaded up and will not be using these loads for hunting anything more than ground squirrel. Gotta get my brass back some how! LOL
Hawcer says he's making some up for me and would very much like to give them a go once I have my freezer meat, These pigs in this area are hated by the ranchers and farmers, And at $19.00 a tag I'll help thin them any chance I get, And as a added bonus it's great exercise!!!
Thanks guys for the response and sharing your experiences.

It may take a few years to get started but he is serious, And I'm serious about helping! lol
