Greetings from cold

[Vashper]

Outside the window frost and snow. I live in Russia, in Moscow. I've been hunting for about 40 years, mostly shotgun, 308, and 9.3x64 (quite popular caliber). In search of information about the reload of this caliber, I got to this site a few years ago, and I liked it.
I worked as an editor of some small magazines, as a journalist, wrote articles, in particular about hunting dogs, weapons and hunting optics, now retired.
I hope to visit Africa, but so far mostly wild boars and moose. I haven't sons, alas - so all hope for grandchildren.
I will be glad to give any information.

Welcome Vashper to AH! I didn’t make it to Africa until long after I retired either. But, I’m trying to make up for it now.

Welcome aboard Vashper. There are a number of 9.3x 64 gun owners that gladly provide you with their loading information. What bullets and powders are normally available to you? What size wild boar have you taken? Did you use dogs?

Glad you are Vashper.
I really want to know more about hunting in Russia. Not just now but historically. If you stick around expect to hear from me often.

I have not yet figured out where to put hunting stories, if they are not illustrated with pictures of world-class hunting trophies. I don’t have them Moscow has its own Safari Club, there are serious guys, they shoot white rhinos, etc., but I'm not a member, alas. But I can write about our usual hunt. About the boar hunt too. Unfortunately, this hunt was almost absent for several years due to African swine fever. Now livestock is restored, but we have to shoot more Piglets and Peppas, than Pumbas.
Shootist43, I don't have much to brag about, and the biggest boar I ever shot was on my first boar hunt, almost 40 years ago. It happens. The hunters line was along the road, cleared in the snow, which was above the knee. I had a disadvantageous place: open field, gently sloping down to the Creek. Across the Creek was a forest, on which beaters were. Over the forest the Raven circled and cawed, it is a good sign. And suddenly I saw a boar. Huge, black, he raced as a torpedo boat, on either side of him had waves of snow. As he approached, I fired my double-barrel turbine bullets, and my neighbor on the left started firing his five-shot, (gun like Browning-Auto-5). The boar seemed not to notice it. I did not have time to recharge, and the boar jumped on the road to my left, and finally fell and began to roll. Then we found 4 hits in his chest. I only got hit once and out of place so it was my neighbor's trophy. It was not weighed, but estimated it was more than 200 kg.

Welcome to the forum Vashper. When you decide to visit Africa, do consider coming to Namibia
