New to hunting and have a question.

[Double Naught Spy]

The longest DRT shot I ever made was 365 yards on a running hog with a hail Mary shot that I estimated based on previous misses and their impacts (Hornday SST 123 factory ammo). I am not a long range hunter by any stretch and tend to keep my shots inside 250 yards and on average shoot 105 yards (some guy actually went through my videos and tallied the distances of my kills to get the average).

However, rick is right, stay inside your personal capabilities.

You can get some boutique factory ammo from the likes of Precision Firearms and Druid Hill Armory. You have to monitor their sites for when things are in stock. I believe the prices are a little better with Druid Hill Armory. Both do an excellent job. Otherwise check out ammoseek.com to find a goodly number of Grendel ammo choices.

If you are shopping brick and mortar stores, probably what you are most apt to find is Hornady ELM-M 123 gr. Some people love it. I would rank it as capable, but not the best choice for hogs. Not trying to generate an argument, just expressing my opinion. I have hunted with it and likely will use it again in the future if that is what I have on hand.

Just curious, what optics will you be using for this hunt?
