Biggest I have shot was a bar that went 405# in central FL. Punched him twice behind the shoulder with an AR and cheap 55 grain bullets. He took 5 of us to load him and he filled the bed of my truck, easily.


Since then, I have only seen 2-3 that I thought were in that ball park. They either had more Russian in them (could be pure) or were typical scrub/feral bars. I won't say typical boars dont get that large, I just haven't seen one that didn't show more influence from Russian genetics. When I was a Hog Agent for the state of FL during college, I got to hunt and shoot a lot of hogs. A 225 pound boar is a lot of hog that appears and acts even bigger.
