    I read on the internet that .223 was a 300 yard round.

    Load was MarkM's/Onyx's 77gr TMK w/ 23.5gr of XBR in a Lake City case.

    It was a hair farther than 700 yards.





    (Left cold intentionally)

    I guess my bullet wasn't reading the right forums.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    I’ll be impressed if that shot was taken in a hurricane.

    Seriously, good work. I’m guessing because it was left cold it was not intended for consumption.

    I did not recover the projectile. It was a perfect shot (wish I could say I was that good...but it just worked out that way) the round entered behind the shoulder between two ribs, punctured the heart, and then exited the ribcage. She dropped where she stood and her legs shook for about 30 seconds. By the time I got there she was dead.

    There was a huge sow next to her, but I knew .223 has some limitations at that range.

    By cold I meant the link was left cold so people didn't open up a random thread and see blood and guts. That hog was gutted and quartered less than 2 hours after it was killed.

    The gravitational pull of the moon and the offset orbital axis must have been part of the equation.

    Nice shot placement. 700+ seems pretty far for hog hunting, at least compared to what I am familiar with from South Carolina.

    But was it from a helicopter?
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
