[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 390783, member: 2736"] A 223 will probably kill anything on earth if shot in the right place and given enough time and distance. But the right place and time are the problem. We have plenty of hogs and if you want to kill one but don't wan't to bother with them Gut shoot them and they will run off and die somewhere else. If you want to harvest them for the meat then it becomes Iffy at best. Hogs are tough cookies and need more cartrige than the 223 for quick one shot kills. If you can head shoot them you will normally put them down but if you can't then be ready to track and be careful when you find them because they can be real ****ed of and want to take it out on you. The 223 is a good cartrige and has its strong points but it does have it's weaknesses and large dangerous game is not its strong point. It's like going to a gun fight with only a knife.(NOT A GOOD IDEA). They are one of the most fun rifles you can shoot and maybe the cheapest but don't ask to much of the 223 and you will never be dissapointed. Just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
