buff. classic meets wild boar

[missed_shot]

I killed my second russian boar last Sat. I used my Buff Classic and it was awesome. 36 gr. of 3031 pushing a 405 grain bullet . More velocity is NOT needed. The first boar I killed last year had complete penetration . I had to take a running shot this year because for some reason the hogs were very spooky . The boar dropped at the shot . It was a neck shot but this year there was no exit hole. I thought this was strange until my friend found a 5 inch diameter sapling that I had killed first. The bullet had enough inertia to pass through the sapling and break the boars neck . That's power. I love the gun and 405 gr. Rem bullets

Great post, I think more people need to realize it does not take a lot of velocity. Buffalo were taken with black powder loads at 1000 to 1200 fps.  I also shoot several 45-70 guns and use low voracity loads and they work very well.
