[QUOTE="Hogcrusher1965, post: 770164, member: 65105"] I have 40-50 hunters per year hunt with our operation in S.C. and they hunt with everything from 22-250 to the big 300's and its about bullet placement. The head shot is always best and as a poster said it really doesn't matter what the caliber. They drop right there. I like a quarter away shot where you can drive the bullet a little low behind the shoulder and drive it out in front of the off side shoulder. If I have to shoot it behind the shoulder I want it tight to the crease behind it. Get too far back and an ole hog can show how tuff he is. He will die no doubt but he can travel a long way if he can breath. I shootem at times low in the front shoulder above the elbow and they tend to drop right there. I like a 7mm-08 and the Nosler 140 AB. Does great work on hogs. But why mess up that great meat. Buddy of mine says a true hog hunter shoots em in the head. Funny!! 308 is fine. [/QUOTE]
