[QUOTE="The Trinity Kid, post: 1178101, member: 91382"] Hey y'all. Here in the next month or two, I'm most likely going to be doing some hog hunting and all I really have is my optically-naked AR. So what I'm looking for is some 223/5.56 ammo that's heavy for caliber that is likely to kill a boar before the oinker gets me. I have a 1-7 twist, so stabilization shouldn't be much of an issue. Around here, hogs aren't big, typically only 30-50 pounds, but they're mean. I've heard stories of hogs chasing pet dogs right through a house, or killing house cats. I don't know a lot about hogs, but I don't remember hearing stuff like that anywhere else. So my thoughts had been things like Winchester Razorback, Remington hog hammer, etc. I'll also have a 9mm with 147grain gold dots, and my buddy backing me up with a 12ga. But I'd rather it didn't come to that. So, suggestions, Go! --TK [/QUOTE]
