[QUOTE="trebark, post: 215538, member: 19172"] Your caliber of rifle should be fine. I had a buddy that shot a charging sow with a .243win loaded with 105gr bullets. He got just enough angle on the pig that the bullet passed threw the ear flap and then into the shoulder. Pig went head over heels as it was flipping he shot one more time just to be sure. Pig didn't move once it stopped flipping. On the flip side of that, I shot one from 30 yards with a .44mag revolver. The bullet passed threw the chest and broke the off-side front leg. Pig ran off like nothing was wrong with it. Tracked it and shot it again from about ten yards. The shot picked the pig up and slammed it on the ground. Still kicking and grunting on the ground, had to finish the job with a knife to the chest. Two stories that illustrate what most everyone has been saying here - your choice of caliber is fine. It's more about shot placement. [/QUOTE]
