[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 562946, member: 30902"] .300 RUM. Without the long range hog shooting I'd say 7mm STW, or 7mm RUM, but if you want something capable of reliably giving you one shot kills on big hogs at that range you need to go at least with the .300 RUM. We've killed a number of large boars that had a half dozen or more bullets stuck in their shields that had never penetrated from .223's, .243's, buck shot, bird shot, even flat based 30 cals suggesting they were from most likely a .30-30. Even with the .300 RUM you'd probably want to go with the .200-230gr bullets for large hogs beyond 600yds. [/QUOTE]
