Blackhawk
A month or so back I posted a thread about how I decided to modify the stock on my .44 carbine. It was the classic and I did not like the raised portion on the stock.
I have owned this little carbine since the early 70's but never shot it much and never hunted with it at all.
I finished the re-finish on the stock last weekend and loaded up some 240 grain jhp's to shoot in it. I am only a year into reloading.
So the hog I killed yesterday was two first. A first kill with the .44 carbine and the first kill with one of my reloads.
He weighed 358 pounds and was more to mess with than I really wanted. One round behind the shoulder. He took three maybe four steps and went down. He never moved again.
His shield caught the bullet under the skin on the off side. I love collecting bullets recovered from game I have shot.
