[QUOTE="Txhillbilly, post: 390945, member: 22844"] I have hunted hogs many times with a 223/AR15.They work great on the smaller pigs-say 100lbs or less,the good eating size. Bigger pigs are some very tough animals,and most people don't know the vital region of hogs,and shoot them like they were hunting deer. Then they wonder why the hog they shot,just runs off after being hit. Shot placement is very important on a hog,unless you can headshot,then most just hit the ground. I load 70gr soft point bullets for 223,smaller just doesn't work very well on them. We usually have 2-3 hunters when we go,and shoot with different calibers-223,243,25/06,and 308. The 223 and 243 will take the smaller hogs,and the 25/06 and 308 shoot the bigger ones. [/QUOTE]
