.223 Barnes 70 Grain TSX Performance

[Hot Holster]

Still liking the photos, videos, and chatter. I haven't hunted since mid July when both my knees gave out two days apart, and I'm in the process of having them replaced. Keeping up with the posts here keeps the fire burning. Carry on.

Got rained out after dark tonight and was heading back in the UTV when I drove up onto a sounder group with the FLIR M-324XP Pan/Tilt thermal cockpit video on while navigating using the Larson Electronics Super RED LED blaster.

Here is a pic I took of the cockpit FLIR M-324 LCD monitor when I first saw the hogs one hundred yards out in the woods:





Turned on the FLIR LS-64 thermal so I could keep an eye on them as I turned on the T-75 and got it setup for taking live video.

Had to turn the Elcan 1.5-6X-42mm down to 1.5X so that I could target the hogs using the 1.5X as the 6X was way too powerful for a 100 yard shot.

One .308 later this 175 pound sow hit the dirt;


Pics using FlirOne at 15 feet in the dark:







Here is the hog and rifle with the FlirOne at 30 feet in the dark:





Here is the hog at 50 using the FlirOne:





Here is the hog with the cockpit LCD from the Flir M-324 using an I-phone to take a pic, hog is 200 feet out:






Here is the same pic of the hog at 200 feet through the FlirOne:






Got some good thermal video of the hog kill and a coyote that I almost nailed earlier so will work up the video later on...

FLIR T-75 Smack Down continues....now if I can just nail that elusive coyote in my backyard!

Haha! The elusive coyote takes a dive at 250 yards with the SIG 716 7.62mm and FLIR T-75! Got some great video too, will work that up!

That coyote is stuffing my resident Bald Eagles and Buzzards, without FLIR thermals they would all starve:

Couple more fell to the FLIR T-75 last night, including a squirrel in the barn ripping up the corn bags, will work up the video:

Trapped eight nice hogs this morning and took them to the University Meat Laboratory to have them processed professionally into sausage and examined for brucellosis. Huge hydraulic stainless steel table, electric winch on steel I-beam, giant walk in freezers, and professors training their agricultural students on meat quality! Sausage will be delivered next week.





Got home beat and took a nap, then put some fresh batteries in the FLIR T-75 Long Range thermal weapon scope and headed out in the backyard in the teaming rain, five minutes later took down a nice 300 pound sow after spotting her with the FLIR M-324 Pan/Tilt thermal cockpit cam. She took a handloaded 7.62mm Barnes 130 grain TSX to the head @ 125 yards, DRT.
