Assist from the Swiss
Nice little boar taken from my daughter's stand. I chose that particular stand to see if any ducks were using a pond located nearby. No ducks, just a pig.

Oh, the Swiss supplied the rifle. Neat, straight-pull action, took the hog at nearly 300 yds.

Thanks Bob and Marco. Bob that was my thoughts as well when I walked up to him. Some look more wild than others, this was a Russian looking beast, killed before he reached his prime.

Good, a dead pig is a good pig.

I need to go to Argentina before I'm too old, you on the other hand are a mere child in comparison.

Those would be awesome conversions for sure, but the 7.5 Swiss is a pretty neat round. Sort of like a .284 winchester necked up to .30 cal.

Nice. Were you shooting the GP11 ammo, some of the Norma hunting rounds, reloads or something else? Thanks

It was a reload of mine, 150 gr. Hornady bullet in front of some IMR 4064 not sure how much off hand.

Thanks Bobby for your remarks, but I was thinking that this hog was pretty unlucky for me to have made that shot, that dropped it in it's tracks at that range.
