[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 685282, member: 30902"] For the exact same purposes I built an LR-260 (AR Platform). The longest shot I've made on a hog with it so far was 750. Hog didn't take a step after a perfect shoulder/spine strike with the 130gr Sirocco II. That little sow was only about 260lbs but still it really did the job nicely. Something similar would be well worth considering. The .458 or .45/70 on the big boars simply cannot be beat but anything under 500lbs it's really a lot of overkill and excessive recoil. Heck out to 400yds I've piled up a bunch of them with the .204 and .220 swift but as I'm sure you know shot placement has to be perfect with the small bullets. Again, Welcome. [/QUOTE]
