Took this 152 pound boar hunting with dogs the first day of the December WV bear season. The revolver shown is a 6” Freedom Arms in .454 Casull. I used 300 grain bullets I cast from a Lyman 454629 mold. First shot in the chest under his chin and the second through the shoulders on his way down the tree.

What is the range for your handgun?

That particular one, I wouldn’t hesitate out to 100 yards. I’ve shot 5 gallon buckets to 300 yards with those.

Shot that bear at 35 feet as the dogs had him treed.
 
I thought you might have to play quick draw at close range.
