Well I finally got to go hog hunting with a mag full of Atlanta Arms 125gr Nosler green tips. After a good rain all night I figured I would find the hogs rooting around tearing up some fields. Sure enough after sun rise I came up on a group tearing up an oat field. I stalked with in about 70 yards but my wind was going straight at them so I figured I was close enough. I dropped the first one with a neck shot, then tagged the second one behind the shoulder, and then tagged a third one on the run dropped him but he jumped up and took off while I double tapped the second hog again. Had the two dead in sight and the third made it into thick brush and I didnt feel like crawling in after him. Overall I think the ammo performed well. Here are the hogs and a picture of the entry wound to the neck of the first hog I shot. Going again in the morning hoping to do some more ballistic testing on some more swine.

Are those eating hogs or are you just helping the farmers?
Re: Atlanta Arms 125gr nosler green tip test on TX hogs
Big boars we let lay. All others we make sausage/eat but you can only butcher so many before we just drag them off. Farmer wants them all killed and I don't mind pulling the trigger.
Re: Atlanta Arms 125gr nosler green tip test on TX hogs
nice shooting, good hogs
the boars don't taste bad, just have to be careful when skinning them out
