[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 139012, member: 799"] That could be an interesting hunt! Only limitation with lever guns is the poor choice of good bullets for them. I still remember shooting a small russian style boar with a 180gr nosler partition in my 300 RUM at about 80 yards, (which should drop a bull elk at about 400 yds). The rest of the herd made a bee-line back into the woods, the one I shot ran about 100 yds out into the pasture before turning back and running after the herd (so I was pretty sure he was hit). Three of us hunted for well over an hour going back in the woods as far as we could imagine he could have run. Never found him. That same hunt another of the guys put 4 rounds of 9mm into a charging sow and all she did was turn and run away. Boars are tough and take a lot of stopping power. [/QUOTE]
