I shot a charging 200 pound boar in the forehead 3 times with a Ruger Blackhawk 357 and had to climb a tree to get away from him. My Dad had already shot him once in the shoulder with a 243. With my fourth shot, I hit him just below his ear, and he collapsed.

This was a few years back, and I can't remember what load I was using in my 357. My Dad was using 95 gr Win Supreme BTs. I still carry my Blackhawk 357 for backup when checking my hog trap, but I always have either a Marlin 30-30 or Blaser 308 for the real work.
