Limit your shooting to light wadcutters? BOARHUNTER

No retirement in my future, and I am ok with it. I worked 40 years in private industry, running a professional business with all the stress and effort and time that goes with that undertaking. And at 65 years old, I looked for a change. Not retirement, as I still feel a desire to remain...

Yes. Often. BOARHUNTER

I am a big fan of the 22 Elsie Pea, and am happy to see I am not alone! BOARHUNTER

And another relevant story, but with less-satisfactory results.... My very first Russian ever is coming my direction down a steep wooded hill. I hit him in the chest with a 405 grain soft point 45/70 round out of a Marlin Guide Gun (I believe it is called). The hog tumbles down the hill in...

Thank you, Jim, for the introduction! I have killed a bunch of Russian Boar with a handgun. And the key is penetration. Even a 9mm will do the job, if that is what you have available. I successfully used 9mm once. On that occasion, the guide suggested I try a handful of Extreme Shock...

Remington Ultralight Executive 45 acp 1911… BOARHUNTER.

Personally, I bought it precisely for its current design! BOARHUNTER
