Thanks for your kind comments gentlemen.

I anguished over which rifle to take on this hunt, having a couple of Mannlichers in 6.5 and one in 9.5, as well as the Kurtz Mauser, but (sadly) ended up being practical rather than romantic!

That Ruger RSI .308 is my pig-culling rifle, so it is in my hands a lot and I typically take over a hundred animals per trip with it, most of them on the run. For my first 'roar' it was a no-brainer, but next year it will probably be either the Jeffery Mannlicher or the Kurtz.

The projectile was a 150gr Sierra SPT Pro-Hunter, bought as 'seconds', and loaded at the milder end of the spectrum. Even so, the bullet demolished both lungs and exited right behind the off-side shoulder. He only made about ~15 metres after the shot.

Mark:
Looking forward to a shot or two with the adjusted sights. I have ammo, remember...
