Javelina Post Photos
1986 - I used my Linebaugh Custom .45 Colt Ruger .. SSK 270 gr. cast 18.5 gr. 2400 .. I was sitting on a rock, tired from walking. Took out my coyote call and blew it a bit and Javelina started running all around me. I picked out one that was about 20 yards or so away and nailed it. When I got it home I saw it had a nice size head so I took it to the taxidermist and had him measure it. It scored as the largest taken with a handgun in SCI and 3rd largest overall. I donated the skull to the SCI museum in Tucson.
1987 - I used my 454 Casull .. Roger Barnes cast 300 gr. @ 1400 fps .. didn't need the power but the accuracy was so amazing! I made a 20 yard shot aiming for the left eye and centered it.
1988 - I used the 44 cap & ball Remington copy .. .460" ball .. full load of FFFg .. 30 yard shot.
1997 - I used the .41 Magnum with a 200 gr. Speer JHP ..20 gr. H110 ... about a 6 foot shot as the pig was running directly at me
2002 - Used my Reeder Custom Vaquero .45 Colt .. 200 gr. Cor-Bon factory load .. 15 yard shot as it ran past me.
2005 - 480 Achilles ... 290 gr. Bittner cast bullet .. 12 gr. 2400 ... about a 30 foot shot. I hit it through the jaw as it ran across in front of me .. as it went past I put the second shot into the right ham and the bullet exited the left front shoulder.
I loaded these with my old laptop ......

They show up this time!
Looks like loads of fun!
Yeah .. there's some incompatibility with my new laptop and
this Forum. No issues on other forums .. I will have to try and get someone who understands a bit of Windows to help me figure it out. In the meantime, I can use my old crippled laptop to post photos here.
Newer ain't always better!

Some time back something changed
and I could not view any pics here on my Android phone. It displays 'image' in brackets.
Never had an issue with any of my laptops or desktops.
