There is no reason why you can't use a 6.5 mm rifle on Wild Boar - assuming it is conditioned for AOLQ. (?)Hi, I would like to know how much boar shooting will cost and where is available please, I would need estate rifle supplied as i currently only have only 6.5 on my FAC.

95% of the time, for paid 'stalking' at least, it is shooting from a tower over bait points at night. a 6.5 mm at the base of the ear at all of 50 yards bowls them over just fine!You’ve been reading too many forum posts!
When you guys talk about shooting boar in England, what are the circumstances? Is it driven shooting with the animals on the run, are you stalking them, or is it shooting them over bait?
Why should that be an issue provided you have an AOLQ condition. A 6.5 bullet to the base of the ear at 50 yards will kill them perfectly humanely.Hi, I would like to know how much boar shooting will cost and where is available please, I would need estate rifle supplied as i currently only have only 6.5 on my FAC.

Agreed on pretty much any CF .222 and above to the brain will do the job.I think the ".270 minimum recommendation", confuses many, who new to shooting boar, may Google information for shooting boar in the UK ?
When I originally applied to shoot boar, I had to show suitable ground, or booked outings, and "boar" was listed in my conditions.
Now, unlike shooting deer, there is no minimum calibre/energy requirement for shooting boar, even though it is far tougher, and potentially very dangerous if injured. I think is a mistake !
In reality, at circa 50m, over a feed station, on a static boar, a well placed shot from any centrefire rifle, with the right bullet, will do the job.

As for there not being a legal minimum, it takes a lot of time and money to push legislation through and boar shooting is not a major activity; they are not widespread. I can’t see a Boar Act any time soon.
Myself and a buddy have had 2 trips and both shot boar. I am not sure how you can pull out the stops on shooting over a bait station.
We are either very lucky or very quiet.
