Whacked a hog, cracked a mirror!

[QRTRHRS]

Okay, I already had a cracked 6x10 mirror from someone getting to close. I set up shop in the truck today to pick off a few hogs with my 22-250. I had taken my headphones off while scanning the field with my bino's. Hog came up and I whacked him! After I came to my senses due to forgetting the headphones, I noticed a new crack. I have a new set of heated mirrors to put on. Just wondering if this is a problem and I don't want to break a new mirror.

Man, I was trying to figure out what kind of mutant hogs you had in your area that were tall enough to take out a mirror!!!! #ad
A 22-250 is a pretty quiet gun IMO, how close to the mirror were you?

pw: Go away ,steve, you have a child to take care of ... . hahahahah
Howard: LOL@Steve!!!!
Howard: I have had it sandbagged down where it can't even think about moving, 2 inches at 200 yards is fairly easy
Steve StLaurent:
pw: I prefer the accuracy of a laser rifle. The only problem is that durn truck you have to haul around behind you to generate enough power to make it lethal
Gene: he hit the ground runnin thoug, i was laughin too hard to get another shot!
Steve StLaurent: ***@#$$%%^&*(**&^&^%$#@!!!!!!!
Gene: I shot UNDERNEATH one with a . 444. LAUNCH is a good term.
Howard: my contender is insane accurate with the ammo it likes
Gene:
pw: 450 centimeters
Howard: LOL
pw: after piling up 230 rounds all around the woodchuck, the pile of shells finally toppled over and nailed the varmint...
Gene: 450 feet, more like it
Gene: Steve can't measure

LOL!

I have a Harris bipod which I had rested on the door. The barrel was right next to the mirror.

Gotta love my friends, huh? The gun I was talking about there was my . 338 jdj - a . 444 marlin case necked down to . 338. I DID mean 450 yards, btw. I outshoot guys with . 22-250's regularly at the range.

Try shooting it off the hood or tail gate next time QRTRHRS!! Although I'm still surprised it cracked a mirror - maybe there was a flaw in it?

Steve,

Good shooting! I did already have a horizontal crack in the mirror that came from someone else hitting me with their mirror. The new crack is in a different area. The reason for sitting in the truck was that I was right next to the township road. Slightly illegal but it's my land and the only way to get a shot at some of the holes. This 12 acre field is fallow this year as the farmer I usually let work it is ill so the hogs have not had winter wheat to hide in. Their also not used to being harassed, heh heh. Mostly, I shoot from a prone position but tractors make good blinds since they are normal occourance.
