Hog with an unusual handgun.
Warthog boar shot at 35 yards, by Ernie Bishop from Gillette Wyoming. I guided Ernie in the Philippolis area, close to the Gariep River.
He used a custom built Ruger GP100 .357 mag with a ten inch barrel. He calls it the Franken Ruger.
Load was a 158 gr Swift A-frame at 1440fps. The bullet penetrated both shoulders and was recovered under the skin in the far shoulder. Retained weight of bullet 150.1gr.

A jackal shot with the same gun, giving a little better view of the revolver.

Re: Hog with an unusual handgun.
He killed the jackal at around 30 meters. The first shot at 100 m went a little high, creasing the back of the jackal. It then ran towards us, pausing at ±30 meters, looking confused.

Re: Hog with an unusual handgun.
Here I've spend many a night calling jackal in the cold.
Other folk just shoot them with handguns.
Seems I am doing something wrong, T-Stone, how much do you charge for lessons?

Re: Hog with an unusual handgun.
Realy like that jackal image, well presented.
How many clients do you get that hunts with handguns?

Re: Hog with an unusual handgun.
Interesting T, is the barrel solid steel or a type of sleeve that fits over the barrel?
