Marksmen, More bullet performance on boar: I consider this to be my best boar taken with a handgun. This one weighed close to 400lb and was taken at Double Boar Ranch in western Pennsylvania a few years ago. I was sitting under a big pine when a group of boar came out of the heavy forest to feed. I was using my FA`s 454 loaded with Winchester ammo topped with a 260gr Partition. The shot was close ( 20yds ) with the boar quartered toward me. The bullet hit the left shoulder, through the lungs and stopping under the right side. Boar ran about 50yds and dropped. The 260gr Partition bulet worked perfectly with a recovered weight of 250.4grs losing only 9.6grs.....That was a fun hunt...
