[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2410442, member: 30902"] I've been shooting them regularly since the late eighties with "vigor" with a dozen different cartridges. All I've tried will do the job with the right bullet if you put it in the right place but hogs will show you real fast the limitations of your bullets. I killed a 500lbs plus boar in 94 with 5" cutters. The taxidermist pulled out three bullets and over 20 buckshot pellets from his shields. Those bullets were cup and core 243 and 30 cal's shot directly into the shoulder. This particular boar hit perfectly just behind the shoulder for a lung shot ran more than 500 yards before expiring, hit with a 140gr ballistic tip 7RM. They are very tough animals. Hit them right though where they are vulnerable with a bullet that can always penetrate at least 3-5" and you can stack them up. I even shot one head on with a 300wm who's head was at a perfect angle to deflect the bullet, looked like I'd split him open from the muzzle to the top of his head with a knife. He was really angry when I got to him so we had a little discussion about shot placement. [/QUOTE]
