Early part of December I received a call from my son (he is in Texas and I am in Virginia) asking if I wanted to go on a Boar hunt during the Christmas Break with him and my Grandson. Of course I jumped at the chance. We discussed different places and wound up going to a lodge in Tennessee, Wilderness Lodge just outside of Monterey, Tn.
I had Dan at Mountain Molds cut me a .432 265gr GC mold over 15 years ago that had I been use mainly to finish off deer. It was never used as a primary round. I was taking my Marlin 1894 44 mag (16in barrel) and this bullet shot real well out of the Marlin and great out of my Ruger Super Blackhawk with a 4 5/8’s barrel.
Had a hog about 40 yards in front of me, body was in line with me and his head was turned slightly away. I shot him in the head, just below the eye and that 44 when through the head, down the neck and through the lungs DRT.
Bullet worked great. Too cold to do a proper wound channel review and we didn’t recover the bullet.
Here are the pictures!
