Boars with .338
      #180362 - 30/04/11 05:39 PM

Took the New / secondhand 338 out to get amongst some pigs with it. first boar was too quick , but found another about 300m further on, cattle Egrets gave his position away. About a 40m shot with a barnes TTSX 185, both lungs , 30m run and down.
Next one was a young boar at about 35m , waited for him to turn head on and head shot him. At the shot there were pigs going every where so i picked out another boar and shot him front on as well. A sow pulled up next to me at around 3m and she got one as well dropping on the spot. Few photos and recovered two projectiles from the young boars. Both projectiles found in the rear leg joint.
