Ninjaplease...
Now you're introducing the awards process into the discussion... as an example of... What, exactly?
If nobody sought your input into a patrol debrief for over a week? I'm sorry- truly I am.
You sound like you have a big chip on your shoulder, attempting to vaguely flex "combat awards" on the internet in a place where most of the membership can smell you out right away.
I won't blindly accuse you of being a complete fake, because I don't think you are. I actually know the type. As someone said early on in the thread- there's Pogue-LRS Powerforce-Troopers in every bar in America. Some of them know "the trooth about the WMDs!" just as you were apparently told "the trooth about Leigh Ann Hester!"
You display your insecurities right there on the surface- typing up decades old smoke shack rumors in an attempt to smear a servicemember whose deeds and valor exceeded your own.
I gues it's actually YOU, who "know more than the people who were there."
...or you heard about it from some Joe in the chow line.
Anyway... thanks for the 'jobs- I'm sure they were real, real good.
Is bullet still stable/accurate after it goes subsonic?

These graphs are made from range cards exported to a spreadsheet and plotted. Three cards per cartridge, a baseline, baseline - 100 fps, and baseline -10% BC. The differences are calculated for each range and scaled to 3 levels of dispersion, velocity spread, and BC variation. Extreme Spreads are taken as 4X the SD of strings with a minimum of 10 shots.
The rounds in the next chart were selected to give a large difference in BC at the same velocity. 300 grain bullets out of a 26" 338 Lapua and 140 ELDm out of a 26" 6.5CM, both at 2750 fps.
I listed the assumed dispersion, velocity spread and BC variation for each level in my earlier post. For those that don't chrono much, the Novice or Beginner level is decent commercial match ammo with an SD in the high teens. It'll take a while after buying your first reloading stuff to load at the intermediate level, high single digit velocity SDs.
This is where the division forms on whether or not 6.5CM is a suitable 1 mile cartridge. Decent 6.5CM reloads will outperform factory 338 Lapua on the vertical spread. Yes, the wind will be worse, but it doesn't take much difference in shooter skill to cover that. The 300 PRC gives 338 Lapua performance at a much lower cost, so the comparison applies there as well minus the wind penalty. If you're using a 1 mile gun as a training tool, you may not regard the increase in wind deflection as a penalty.
Next, lets compare a 338 Lapua with a 33XC. Same 300 grain bullet so no BC difference. The 33XC will be 300 fps faster at 3050 fps.
Even 300 fps of velocity won't cover the steps in ammo consistency.
The next chart compares the 33XC with the 375CT. 300 gr ATips at 3050 with the 33XC, 400 gr Lazers at 2950 fps for the 375CT.
The 375 OL has the velocity spread reduced to 10 fps and BC spread to 1%. Even with very good ammo, the way forward at extreme distances is continuing to reduce the spreads.

Most of them make their accusations after they discover that their attempt to land a milionaire star by banging them.... ended up in them being shown the door and told to go back to their dead-end secretarial job.
The reason behind Frank Sinatra dismissing the allegation that 'he paid women for sex' was his perfect line: "I don't pay women to have sex. I pay them to leave."

Hog hunting rifle choice

Really if you're after meat, I'd just practice at small targets and try to hit as dead-center neck as possible from a broadside. It is a complete CNS knockout. If you're a bit left/right for some reason...you're still breaking the spine and get an instant drop. You hit a tad low and you're wiping out the circulatory system. You hit a tad high and you still break the spine.
Hog hearts are just a bit lower than deer hearts and the lungs are a bit smaller, so the "traditional" shot on a whitetail is going to put you in the back half of the lungs = better chance they run a bit into thick cover.
Here is a photo I used to use when I showed impact placement on one that I had shot:
They aren't immortal or made out of Kevlar, but if you screw up that initial shot they can get fairly tough in a hurry. You don't have to overthink your setup though. Anything that you'd take deer hunting works for pigs too. Shot placement, shot placement, and shot placement.
One critical piece of advice to a new hunter though: If a hit hog is laying upright (on its chest)...shoot it again as there is about a 95% chance it is still alive. And never miss a chance to be cautious.
Here's a dog my wife and I sewed up last Friday evening for some Texas boys:
