Hog slayin' with suppressed 12.5" Grendel

[txgunner00]

I was able to hit a ranch in central Texas this weekend with some friends. Great times. We put 10 hogs down total. I got these 6 in about 30 minutes. 2 at one tank, 4 at another. All of them taken at close range while chasing them on foot through the cedars. 6 for 6 shot to kill ratio. The suppressor really enables you to hear the WHAP of the bullet impact. Hell of a time

Had some peach barbeque pulled pork last night as a reward for my efforts. Good stuff.

Great shooting! I hope to have similar success when my supressor arrives.

Awesome. What load are you using?

Now that you've blooded the 12.5", do you see ever using a longer barrel for hog hunting likely for you?

I thought I read that the Grendel only works from long barrels. lol

This barrel has lots of blood on it already. Last winter I took 2 doe @ 200 & 275 yds, several hogs and lots of vermin with it. At this point I don't see much need for a longer barrel inside of 300 yds for the type of hunting I typically do. If I have an opportunity for some longer range shots or bigger game I'll probably go with the 20". Otherwise, the size, weight and balance of the 12.5" is perfect for me. I couldn't be happier with it.

For these hogs I was just using some blaster loads I put together using fireformed AK brass and 120 grain sierra soft points I picked up off ARFCOM EE. Even with slightly reduced velocity due to the FF cases those pills created VERY effective wound channels.

The winter does I took were downed with 123 SSTs, Hornady brass and 28 grains of 8208.

Awesome work TX. I need to get a new legal suppressor here in MN.,, then dial you up ?

Awesome performance with the 120--123 pills.

Would you try a few -different wts.? Performance gains- upon the indifferences of a few?

Of a few pills that I tweak? Thanks.

Lots of hogs in Texas. Good to see you are doing your fair share to keep them from taking over. Good shooting.

Sure, I'll give them a try. I have been intrigued by what you have been playing with. I don't know when my next trip will be but it could be in Aug sometime.

TX-I'll pm you.
