[QUOTE="luvs2hunt62, post: 641650, member: 46295"] I've killed or been involved in the harvest of hundreds of hogs. I'm guessing that close to 100 have been taken with my AK47 in the hands of young shooters, using wolf 156 gr soft point ammo. these were all within 40 yds, and all dropped on the spot save one, which was hit in the neck just aft of and below the ear. It seems that the bullet managed to pass through between the Juglar and spine, and he ran off. We got a shot at him later, and he dropped with a heart shot..The 7.62X39 is more than adequate. --Caution---A lung shot on a large boar at relatively close range may give you a close up view of some dangerous cutters, even when using a much larger caliber.
