I have been hunting this boar for several months, and he finally made a fatal mistake tonight. I shot him with my Blaser R-93 Professional Tracker in 308 topped with a Leupold VX III 1.5-5 illuminated reticle loaded with 170 gr round nose Corelokt, 46.5 grs Varget, CCI 250 primer in Lapua brass. He ran a short distance, and I had to get my Lab pup, Annie, to locate him for me. I tried to weigh him, but he bottomed out my 200 pound scale. I estimate him to be between 250 and 275 pound.   | ||

That's a very nice lookin' hog there Jeff...That's a lot of SWEET MEAT right there!!! Did you clean his wife's JEWELS from him earlier or did another rancher/hunter nearby as I see his ears are decorated.... Man that makes for SWEET MEAT!!!!!! BTW how is your 6.5x55mm doing I just finish scoping mine a couple days ago and hopefully my son's McGowen barrel will be here soon so I can get it twisted up fast and check it out too! I took your reply along with a few others and I'll be shooting in my rifle and my son's the 120gr Rem CL's for deer and the like...  Thanks Buddy!!! | |||

Jeff, Looks like you're doing all the good. Great rifle, fine boar and good looking pooch. But you need to be sure and leave some for future fun. GWB | |||

I actually haven't had my 6.5x55 barrel out since deer season ended. The 120 gr Corelokts sure worked for me. | |||
