[QUOTE="albert, post: 169388, member: 2316"] "As for a .300 being too big for pigs, many around this neck of the woods believe they are too powerfull as the bullet has no time to expand and exits leaving the pig to run around wounded..........more of a moral issue than anything." A statement like this is made by someone who has no idea how bullets work. The higher the impact velocity the sooner/greater a bullet will open up, and the less penetration you will get. The individual design of the bullet is the greatest factor on how a bullet will perform. You load something like a 165 grain B-tip in the 300 I garrantee the expansion will not be a problem. To get the performance you want, it is a matter of selecting the right bullet. The 30 calibre probably has the greatest number of choices. There will be something that will work. I agree two diffent rifles is the best solution. [/QUOTE]
