About 40 years ago, 200 yds, Colt Python.
MaterDei and wasrjoe , thanks for the kind words.
Southern Indiana.
The camera was a Minolta Autocord with a self timer.
The car was my first NEW car. Had to order it from the factory and wait 3 months to get it.
V-8, Four barrel carb, 3 speed column shift, special gray paint, white rag top, black wall tires.
Valiant, don’t remember the year but the barracudas came out that year.
The PYTHON I bought new ($150.00) 6†barrel, hand loads.
Now the rest of the story.
The whistle pig was feeding at 200 yards when I took my first shot, went high about a foot.
He started running and my second shot was about a foot low.
Just like it said in the book when he got to the hole he stopped, stood up to see what was going on.
The third shot got him in the shoulder.
I believe you eat what you kill (killed a crow once, tasted like Eagle) so I started skinning.
It was the fall of the year and that old boar looked great, thick white fat, red meat , I was getting hungry.
Got home put him in the old pressure cooker with some carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, salt and pepper.
It was about an hour later when the smell hit the house. No one told me about the glands you HAVE to remove.
End of a long story, the pressure cooker is buried in the back yard to this day with the lid ON.

how many shots does it take before the glass is too dirty to see through?

Nope - that was my ''Raging Lunatic'' in .454 Casull .... interestingly, this ammo is the Win 250 grain - very whimpy load when compared with the Hornady 300 grain hot load - that does kick butt!
Nowadays I shoot the .454 much more thru my SRH.
I have mentioned before, in case anyone wants this pic as wallpaper etc (and yeah - I am proud of it!) ... I have a high res bigger version .... HERE - it's 330k and 1494 x 1059 pix. Grap a copy if you wish whilst it's still on that server.

I added the links P95Carry; I don't know why you couldn't see it on the board. I can see them fine; hopefully the links will work though.

Thx for the change but - I'd already checked to see what your links looked like - had em in my email notification too .... the third one for example . comes up as http://127.0.0.1:1041/clear.cgi? in my address bar after trying.
I wonder - are you cookied as a subscriber to those sites ... might explain why you can access/see the pics. I have had this prob before from some hot links.
