Bill Wilson fisrt hogs with 6.8

[ccoker]

222 and 208

about the same as this one I shot about 6 weeks ago




SIDE NOTE

I see the load data was with Remington cases with the large primers
he reported, as well as others here he was getting pressure signs

I know he's got 1k SSA brass enrotue and RL10X
he's got reloading setup and a range and we will be doing some load and testing

anxious to see what my AR15Perf Recon is getting with my loads on the chrono

It is good to have another fan in the industry.

Those are good sized pigs. I'm excited to see a successful hunt like this.

Hopefully Wilson Combat's 6.8 will be presented in more detail soon.

Having Bill Wilson involved with the 6.8 is very good news.

I see this as great news for the 6.8!

Charles C talked me into joining the forum, looks like a great place to learn a lot more about the 6.8.

So far I've had real good luck with the 6.8 on hogs, I've shot 4, my son 1 and one of my gunsmiths another. All have been quick kills.

My current load is a 130gr Nosler Accubond over 26.5gr R-10X in SSA sm pocket cases, lit by F205s for 2300fps out of my 16.5" bbl

Welcome to the group Bill. Looks like the hogs have more reason to worry now.

Welcome aboard, I am glad to have another industry member supporting the 68

Bill,

The "Hammer of Thor" hog killing loads are the following. They shoot very flat:

1) Barnes TTSX, 110 grains over 29.5 grains of RE-10X, with SSA brass, CCI 41 primer and lee factory crimp, loaded to 2.305"

2) 85 grain Barnes TSX, over 30.5 grains of RE7, loaded to 2.305" in SSA brass, with Wolf primer.

I have never recovered one of these bullets, even when shooting 200-300 pound hogs right through both shoulder blades. And that was usually done with my 12" barrel.

Last hog shot with 85 TSX....both shoulder blades at a paced 207 yards with a 12" Cardinal Armory barrel, 1 in 11" twist, SPC II chamber and JET suppressor.




Here's the entrance wound. Right through both shoulders.
