Don’t know if this post is going to work from deer camp but here goes. Today at about 1930 hours my 6 mm ARC claimed it’s first hog, 130 yards bang flop!!! Below is a couple of photos.

My ARC got its second hog this morning at 0722 hrs. Another bang flop, this 95 SST is working!

Nice shooting! I could not tell shot placement on #1 and #2, were they all head shots?

Yes sir, just below and little behind the eye. Doesn’t always anchored them, but when it doesn’t they run in circles or run a couple of feet and stop and sometimes roll on the ground it gives you time to put more rounds into them. Or as DNS calls it quality assurance shots. So far that hasn’t happened with the ARC but it’s just a matter of time before it does.

Looks Like it must be nice to live in or near a target ritch environment. Congratulations.
B4 the Arc what has been your preferred round?

Damn trashy, you’re gonna need a big smoker for all that pulled pork and BBQ ribs.

before the ARC my go to hog rifle was a 7.62x39mm on the AR platform, the only problem was range it wasn’t that reliable on hogs of any size out past about 125 yards or so, you could hit them just didn’t always put them DRT. This 20” CMMG barreled ARC has been impressive with 95 gr SST’s.

Backstrap, pork butt, ribs... it’s all good after 12 or so hours in the smoker!
Keep knocking them down. It’s a public service!
Happily, we don’t have them around my parts. Still, if a few showed up I’d be glad to add them to the freezer. The venison gets lonely in there...
