Been a rough few weeks, hoping to go out this week at least once or twice. But fuck me life gets in the way.
Picked up a 30-30 lever action keen to test it out.
Yeah 45-70 seemed like overkill for what I'm doing.A 30-30 sounds 10 times more comfortable than the 45-70 I got.

What was the official weight
Picking up a .44 Magnum lever action in a few weeks as well. Simply for the fact that on this one I can easily mount a Torch, red dot/reflex sight and bipod or any other accessories really. One of these
For night hunting having a spotlight on my gun will make things easier after I ID them with the thermal from the safety of my tree. As of late I've had to go out a few times by myself and juggling the spotlight and the 30-30 was not an easy task. So I looked for something a little bit more modular. Not sure about the big loop though.
I'm thinking 240g Federal JHP rounds should do the trick, but if guys like @RerouteToRemain or @Chesten_Hesten have any input for .44 rounds I'd love to hear it.
Rifle is a Rossi Citadel 92. I understand Rossi isn't the greatest brand around but its not like I'll be putting thousands of rounds through it, hell it'll be lucky to get 25 a year put through it (the way my hunts have gone lately)
30-30Not me I've no smarts about 44 mags in rifle form. Hope it shoots good.

Anything ought to do it.
How many guns is this for those hogs now?
They're getting expensive per hog capita!
Few weeks ago me and a buddy killed 5 larger ones. Using a 30-30 Lever Action and a straight pull 12 gauge.Any update on hunting expeditions in the land down under? @Woldog
338 Lapua? How far are the ranges you guys hunt at there?Here wild pigs usually are 50-90 kg, however might be even 250kg.
Usually they use these calibers:
7,62*51, 7,62*54, .300 H&H Magnum, .30-06, 0.300Winmag, .338Lapua Magnum,
9*53, 9,3*62, 9,3*64, 9,3* 74.
Smoothbore: 12 gauge with 70 mm or 76 mm cartridges ( 3 inch now are more common than 70mm ).
version A: smoothbore bullet, it will be 28-40 gram bullet.
version B: slugs ( pellets ) in container, then 1 cartridge will have 8-12 " pellets " with 7,5-8,5-9 mm diameter.
Now with these environment protection campaigns these " pellets " are available also made from steel, coated with copper.
wild pigs with riffled barrels weapons? Usually distances are like from 10 till some 250-300 meters.How far are the ranges you guys hunt at there?
