NitroX,

Don't know what to tell you about the meat color. The meat I have is just very lean pork. Couldn't tell you if real wild boar meat is red or not, but I'd love to find out. I guess I need to hunt boar overseas to compare. Maybe someone else knows?

Igbal,

My main reason for using a big caliber is to put the animal down hard and fast. I wouldn't use the .416 on an 80-lb animal, but would on a 450-lb boar where the extra knock-down power will be useful. Boars are tough and for some reason the signal that the body is fatally wounded fails to quickly reach the brain of the hog. Maybe that's what makes them such a challenge to hunt as they often take off even when critically wounded. Until I bought my .416, I've been hunting boar with a Ruger Super Red Hawk in .480 which has proven quite effective against boar. It's using a big (325-grain) bullet travelling at a moderate velocity. I believe the heavy artillery will be quite effective on the big hogs.
