PIG HUNTING ?
If you were going pig hunting , How would you feel about going out with a 38 special with 145 gr wad cutters?
Personally this would not be my choice.
However the TV hunting shows are pushing the new Crossman 357 cal air rifle for pig and deer and antelope.
Now they shoot a lead Nosler plastic tip bullet at 600-700 FPS. from a 4 foot long rifle. Yes with the perfect shot it will kill but so will a 22lr. I fear the masses are drinking the Koolaid . This is a 1100.00 gun with a 300.00 tank . At full power the gun gets 3 shots. I think you will get the same results with a 357 cowboy and 38 wad cutters. Still a lot cheaper to buy and load for and you will have a 10 shot repeater. Any thoughts? J.Michael
