[QUOTE="Texas Speed Bump, post: 2438078, member: 115057"] I'd go with an AR10 or LR308 rather than the AR15. I kill a lot of pigs here in Texas and have used both. Most of the time unless you shoot them in the ear, your pig is going to run quite a ways after a 5.56/.223 shot. They'll likely die but you may never find it. A couple of years ago I put together an LR308 (the one in my avatar photo to the left) specifically for hogs and it's been a great rifle. The Severe Duty muzzle break and full length gas system makes it shoot like an AR15; no appreciable recoil. I just ordered a 30 caliber suppressor for it and will swap out the muzzle break once it comes in. I've been shooting 165 grain Barnes TTSX bullets but am going to work up a load for some Hammers and see if I can more velocity than I'm getting with the Barnes. [/QUOTE]
