[QUOTE="Catwhacker, post: 645059, member: 41466"] It's been said in this thread and I suspect most other threads dealin' with how much is enough. Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement!!!! My family has a fairly good sized ranch in the rolling plains of TX. We shoot hogs year round, so I think I can give a qualified answer. 223's & 22-250's will slay em if the shot is good. I shot a big boar head-on right under the eyes @ 75yds with a 300WM & all it did was break his nose & royally chap his ***. I've also FLATTENED em with an AR15. I shoot 150-200 hogs a year that aren't trapped. We also trap a bunch. Our traps are ovals that are about 30yds long. We use 1 1/4oz 12ga #4 pheasant loads to kill trapped hogs because they're deadly up close & they're relatively cost effective.Caught 380-385 hogs in 2 1/2 months last winter. My point is it doesn't take a howitzer to kill hogs if you can shoot.Just my experience & my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
