Hogs with 6ARC

[Deanocraft]

Got a chance to go Hog hunting in Nov. So.   I have 103 ELDX factory and I have 90gr GMX/CX Hornady loads .

Any one done hogs with a bolt 6 arc ?

Tips are welcome.



Thanks

And what size for eating , will be my first hog (if I get one ) and have heard all the stories about big is not better, and bigger tastes great , so clue me in

I know this is an old thread, but I just found this forum… in January I went on a hog hunt and killed 4 with the 6 Arc. I’ve had that gun for 4 years and killed 4 deer and 4 hogs. In my experience, it is a fine hunting cartridge. 

the hogs were taken with my hand loaded 103 ELDX rounds and took one shot per animal. I think I like that bullet, but I may experiment with other projectiles in the future. I have also killed deer with the 108 ELDM and an 88g hammer hunter. I liked the results of the 108 better than the Hammer. 

My gun is a gas gun, not a bolt. I like the gas gun for hogs! I have killed and eaten hogs up to 150lbs or so, and my opinion is that they taste great! Preparation is key as well as spice and cooking method and time. I hope you had a good hunt!
