RE: Favorite Russian Boar Caliber
First Russian boar I killed was with the .444 Marlin 1895 outfitter. I used handloads with the 240 gr Nosler HP bullet. I added enough powder to get 2100 fps (18.5" Barrel). Hit the boar in the lungs at 35 yards and it blew some pieces of its heart on the ground. Same load also decked a spike sika buck. Note: I am going to use 300 gr on boar for future woods hunts.
