Thanks for posting James! After receiving the Freedom Arms Model 83 in .44 Mag., I couldn't wait until fall hunting season to give it a spin. Early this spring Karen and I make a trip to Texas where I took a Texas dall, black Hawaiian ram, Rio Grande turkey, and hog. All game was taken with Hornady's 240 gr. XTP. The boar was not a wild hog but some of the strain our outfitter had brought to his ranch. It weighed over 400 pounds and I wanted to see how the 240 gr. XTP would perform. The boar was broadside around 50 yards when the XTP hit him just behind the shoulder. The bullet broke one rib going in, went through both shoulders, broke one rib going out, and lodged in the hide on the off side. The recovered bullet weighed 216 grs and looks almost as if it had been shot in to gelatin. Overall I'm more than pleased with the 10 inch FA and can't wait for fall hunting season.
