I killed this hog this past Sunday with my LoneStar Rolling Block.
His left side is the exit side - As you can see, I hit him badly - far back. The shot was freehanded at 65-70 yards as he was walking up a dam of a cattle tank. I had no time to really aim, just sights on and drop the hammer. The sound of that .350" meplat hitting him was like somebody whacking a rubbermaid garbage can with a 2x4.
He ran about 125 yards into the heavily wooded creek area and expired.

Darryl, the .50-70 is a hammer. Ask Bill Cody.

I sure like the looks of Rolling blocks. I have got to get mine together this winter. MD

Darryl.
Good going!
That porker is just the right size for the spit over a charcoal fire
I would like to go after one some day.
