Blackbuck taken at 287 yds

AWESOME!

Weirdest looking hog I've ever seen!

You're taking your wife Ed!?? All the way to the frontlines of the Fire war zone!? You're a much braver man than me.

Actually, you're definitely amongst gentlemen!!

Have fun bud!!

That's a very fine blackbuck. Well done....

Looks like an absolutely great time. Dan, one of those Blackbucks are certainly on my bucket list. They're just cool!

I had to come back early today...a fabulous time, lots of great food, lots of pigs to shoot and ultimate male bonding. Weather was OK, too. I had a blast. Thanks again to "dvdegeorge" for setting this one up. I'll be going again next year, if I'm allowed.

JB-

Although you couldn't be here, some of your bullets did come along. The photo below is of one you sold me a couple of years ago, which performed very well in bang-flopping a piggy. The hog was facing toward the blind about 100 yardsaway, with his head lowered as he snarfled up the corn bait. The bullet entered just above his head, and a skinner recovered it in a ham.

The bullet is the discontinued 45 cal Nosler HG 260-gr Partition, loaded to about 2500 fps mv in the 450B cartridge for use in the new RAR bolt rifle. I was concerned whether the bullet, designed for magnum handgun velocities, might not stand up to the extra 500-700 fps above its presumed design max. It's performance indicates that Nosler might consider bringing it back for 45-cal rifles.

Dan that's a beautiful blackbuck!

I like that riflestock also... I think I saw some of those at Grice's when I was in Pa this past deer season. Lovely.

Looks & sounds like a great time I'm really going to have to make a point of getting down there one of these years!

Bob,

Excellent!

The only big game I ever shot with that Nosler was a medium-sized Iowa whitetail buck, the bullet starting at about 1900 fps from a Winchester 20-gauge sabot factory load, from the rifled barrel on a T/C Contender carbine. At 40-some yards the bullet went through the bones of both shoulders and exited. Your field test certainly indicates it can take even more velocity.

Unofficial Tally was 58 hogs I believe. Plus some coyotes,foxes and Dans Blackbuck. I made it home at 1:30 AM after a 980 miles in 14 Hours trip. Had a blast

I know anyone can be at the wrong place. Did everyone get at least one? How many were killed by the one who killed the most? What was the largest? smallest? What was the average size? Captdavid

No but everyone had opportunities and shot , four, 190lbs,2 lbs,80lbs

You should, of course, join us next year!

Make than 60! The two I shot last night were donated in the hide and never left the truck.
