When I mentioned to Erik on the phone that my son was going to be with me when I visited him and we wanted to find a place to hunt hogs one of the days, he IMMEDIATELY found a spot and baited for the feeders. Then, he spent all day with my son teaching him how to shoot. That’s the kind of guy Erik is. I mess with him #wrongammo but the internet should know that this is one of the good guys.
Eric, you may have given them the wrong ammo… But I don’t think you actually loaded it in the gun prior to their hunt. There’s more than one person who made the mistake. Jim and Ruger should have checked the ammo. Thank goodness no one got hurt.
A friend of mine loaded an 8mm Mauser round into his Springfield 30-06 and fired it. Didn't do it intentionally taught him a lesson though. I changed out the extractor on a guys Ruger Model 77 270 one time he said it didn't want to eject fired rounds. I couldn't see anything wrong with it and asked him to bring me some ammo. He brought me the box and his son had put .243 shells in a 270 box.
So what’s the deal now with the hog? In Jim’s video he ends by claiming that Ruger hit it and the shot was through and through. Here in the end it for sure looks as if there was no blood trail and the hog was never found. Both could be accurate [EDIT: Eric shared that the hog was found the next day. Great news]

Exactly. Always check things over. Just because someone gives you ammo that doesn't mean they couldn't have made a mistake.
Lesson learned for sure, and hope that us sharing it helps others as well.
For my 270 hunting loads
I use nickel brass
So
That I don’t have a mixup with my 30.06

Erik, you should try Lapua Naturalis. It's a lead free solid copper bullet.

Hog was hit and found the next day. It was too dark to look for it that evening. Jim had a plane to catch.
Test - as a reply to Eric vanished twice
If there's no body... It didn't happen. So now there's a 500lb hog just hiding dead on the property? Lol
Coyotes found it. :)
See? if Erik make mistakes, what can be expected of us simple rookies? 😅
We all make them.
Just wondering when the Erik Cortina ammo checker is coming out? 😂😂😂
Love ya videos all the way over here in the UK.
Wrong ammo, ha that’s funny. Luckily it was just a couple misfires and no big bang and no injuries. Keep up the great videos..
The more you handle guns and ammo, the greater the chance that this will happen. That's just the law of averages.
Hey...... It makes for a funny story! 😅
You can tell everyone who watched the Backfire video 1st cuz #wrongammo
lol
Hell yeah!! Erik and hogs!! ❤.
I see Ruger shoot's a rifle the correct way, left shoulder 😊
Eric and Jim couple of the internet good ones!!!
I didn’t think anyone would do the #wrongammo
Was that Little cortina?
Absolutely not.

Wait....I don't get it, how could Ruger even chamber the wrong calibre ammo? #wrongammocortina
6x47 Lapua is smaller than creed. It will chamber but won’t fire.
Make sure to have the correct ammo😬 #wrong ammo🤣
