Re: 8 bore vs wild boar

Thanks 9.

The load was 150 grains of Triple 7 with an .805 ball of pure lead at approx 825 grs. I havent chronographed it yet. The rifle came with a powder measure that it was regulated with using FF Goex. I havent been able to get my hands on any real black around here so I'm using Triple 7, the measure holds a little over 200 grs of this, but it hit way high and to the right so I kept dropping the charge until it was shooting to the sights. The actual load that this pig was killed with was reduced even more because I had shot a much smaller pig about 20 minutes before this one showed up and when I opened the film cannister that I had my "speedload" in, some powder went flying out!!!!
