Went out last weekend to look for a mob of hogs that I know have been frequenting some wheat stubble country a long way from the river country they usually may be found.
A trio of boars taken with my Winchester M70 in 300H&H and Woodleigh 180gr PP that I'm considering for my next trip to Africa.

Good shooting!
 
Nicely done, congrats!
 
Well done, looks like the rifle is shooting just fine
 
Wow! That's some fine looking hogs! Great job!
 
How'd it do? I'm building a 300H&H right now. Looking at 180gr tsx as my Africa PG, Leopard and Croc load.

Good shooting Mark
 
What are the "melons" ??? in the first picture?

Congrats on your cull success.
 
Good work - what were your observations on bullet performance and results? This is one of the bullets I am considering trying in .300 Win Mag and 30-06 - any feedback would be appreciated - thanks

They are Paddy Melons first brought out here with the Afghan's when they imported their camels for desert food for them.

Didn't dig these one's out but they worked...... I am an avid Woodleigh user for quite a few years and calibres. I have used them in .416, 9.3 and .338 and will be using these next year on plainsgame.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
