Shot a 400 lb boar a couple of years ago with my 35 Whelen (7600 Rem pump cut to 181/2 inches with a muzzle brake and 2x Leupold scout scope) and a 200 grain Remington round nose handload. It was a neck shot and he popped his jaws for a few minutes--I stayed in the stand. Stunk so bad I towed him out of the sendero and then decided overnight to cut the head off for a mount. By the time I cut through all that shield and got the head loose I got a bit "Scotch" and decided the loin should still be OK. Looked like a grocery store pork loin and ate good.
Got a 44 mag pump (Timberwolf) I plan to use someday but shot one this year with my Ruger 308 and 165 grain Sierra HPBT handload. Great bullet, needs to be used more.
