nice.. details??

 

The hunt was in Michigan at Ted Nugents SunRize Safari's ' I was there with about 25 other folks who most are members of Teds message board . Its an annual hunt that gets bigger every year. I took the hog with some 200 grn Hornady FTX bullets I loaded over 47 grns of Win 296 that have a muzzle velocity of about 2100 fps. The hog was over 400 lbs and tough as hell. It took 4 shots to kill it and 3 were in the zone. I think I may not have gotten enough penetration with the 200 grns. I went with lighter and faster , where as I should have maybe went slower and heavier! All in all it was a great time with some great folks.

Great pic. Must have been a hell of an adrenaline rush. That's one big pig.

I thaught this was the hunt we talked about.. so you were able to bring the hand gun ?

I want to use the 44 mag with 300 gr xtp.. do they have the 300 gr for the 460, that is chambered in 454 casull right ? or 45 long colt ?

I still wasnt sure of the law , but I cased and locked the gun as per the fed law stuffed the case in my duffle bag and took it anyway. May have been a dumb move but I wasnt carrying concealed just transporting it. !

The 460 is actually .452 diameter as is the 45LC and 454 Casull. The only difference is case length and the case heads are substantially thicker in the 460. Thats why you can shoot 45LC and 454 Casull out of the 460 handgun. I believe they have 250 ( or there abouts) grn FTX and up to 300 grn maybe 350 grn lead bullets.

Just checked , Hornady has a 300 grn XTP mag for 460 applications!

nice trophy & memories I'm sure

Nice, wild boar is good eating. Do they carve them up for you? I hear they make some good sausage.

400lb+, thich winter coat and fat layer.... Man thats rifle stuff for me. I have taken a few 250+ hogs in south georgia with 10mm (buffalo Bore Heavy 10mm, 220 gr flat nose going about 1,300 fps) and that was pushing the limits with a boar, even thinner skinned and closer to naked ones then your trophy.

 

You got brass ones my friend.

Nice Hog! :handgestures-thumbup:

What was the distance?

Smith 500 or go home.... wait....

 

how was a 50AE Gold titanium desert eagle in a tiger stripe go with this?

First shot I hit him behind the shoulder but about 4" too high for the heart was about 30 yrds , the next three were in the 20 to 25 yrd range.

Wild boar is delicious. Enjoy!

Tiger takes down wild boar.
