About 100 yards from my blind to where this sow was. Hit her with a .30-30 from a 10" barreled Thompson Contender. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/11/full-3548-435872-piggy.jpg)

Excellent!  I've always wanted to try one of those things.

Excellent! I've always wanted to try one of those things. I've had the Contender for several years and this is the first animal I have taken with it. I was stoked!

Thanks! It ran 70 yards but left a great blood trail. We had no trouble finding it.

Excellent! I've always wanted to try one of those things. The Pig or the Contender. Trying the pig tonight. Carnitas tacos from the back strap. She should be good eating. That 10" .30-30 has to have a heck of a muzzle flash. I've had a Contender since 82 or 83. Have 14" barrels in .44 Mag and .223, 10" Octagon barrels in .22 LR, .45 Colt and .45/.410, and two custom barrels for suppressor use, a 8" .44 mag and a 5" .22LR match chamber.

"Group think" is not thinking. It is the lack of independent thought. It is a cancer of the mind.

You are correct on muzzle flash... great big fireball! And loud too. I have that barrel and a .22LR barrel as well.
