Breaking in the Grendel

[SChunter]

Got to break in the Grendel the other evening on this 230 lb sow - factory 123 gr AMax's did the trick...



I think I'm gonna like this gun...a whole bunch.

Thanks guys - elkbow, the bullet took her about 3 inches below the earhole and maybe an inch or two towards the rear. No complete penetration, but I did not go digging in the skull for the bullet. Zero movement other than her popping her tusks, twice. Done.

what did you do with it after? sausage? I shot a wild pig a couple years ago in cali, but it was much smaller!

[SChunter]

Deezil - you got it! I pulled backstraps, hams and shoulders off her; loins will end up in the oven or on the grill, and the rest of the meat has been boned out and added to the balance taken off a 175lb boar from last week. Assembling some more bulk to turn into sausage at the processor!
