Hello to all. I've had and I follow to have some really good time reading the forum. I think I was too in the driven hunt to 470Nitro's first post refers to (El Puerto). He got a fantastic wild boar there.

I got a couple of red deer and a wild boar as well, but not of quality as trophies. However, one of the deer was shot on the neck, just the part of his body I could see, while he stood behind a big rock at 115 meters (range finder). Second shot from my Krieghoff double with open sights. Sure a very lucky shot considering my shooting skills but sure I enjoyed it very much as the deer dropped on his tracks.

Calibre was 8x75RS (.323"), moving a french designed bullet (GPA, made of copper, similar to the Barnes X) of 196 grains at 2,750 f/s. A very good medium bore of german origin, born well before WWII, and it is said that slightly more powerful than the 300 H&H magnum.

Anyway, congratulations for 470Nitro and best regards for all. Nice to meet you.

Jesús,
