Thread: Shooting help

I agree with mr duck. One time I shot a large boar with 160grain 2900'/sec mv just behind shoulder. It took off flat out and I found it stone dead a few minutes later nearly 200 yards away. Another time on a similar big boar he rolled over instantly dead; so always check tracks. You never know the reaction. Yet another shot head on. The bullet went up a nostril and scaped around the inside of the skull. That boar ran up a 6ft bank and into heavy bracken fern. Standing on the bank I could hear him a few yards away chomping his grinders. Took several minutes before he moved where I could see him and finished him with another shot. That particular one was with a 7*57 soft point bullet, the initial nostril shot taken at around 150 yards as he faced me.
