Took my Grandson out for some pig action. He took 3 pigs with the 6 arc. We were actually coyote hunting so he had a mag full of 55gr Nosler BT's but I had a spare mag of 100gr SBT soft points that I switched out after we saw the pigs. We left the 55 gr in the chamber.
We had two hunters and had to time the shots. His target pig was a young one since his first projectile was the light 55gr varmint round. It was moving and went behind some brush just as he shot so he had to take a shoulder shot and it did just fine at 60 yards. Did have to do a followup after the fact however. That makes three pigs so far with 55gr Nosler BT's.
The other two shots were running pigs, a nice sow and a real nice size boar. Both of these were using the Sierra 100 BTSP. The boar was about 90 yards and I don't know if the 55gr would have been effective at that distance on a running pig. I was glad we exchanged the mag.
I think he fell in love with the 6arc. It's low recoil let him stay on target for the follow up shots. It was a Great Day!
