[QUOTE="1kdude, post: 1209256, member: 8763"] I took the CA DFG hog hunting class and shot placement was emphasized. I was told 223 is fine, ear hole back = human forearm sized brain-spinal column target is good. The heart is between the front elbows on a hog (bottom of the chest) and the lungs are only slightly behind and above that. They are not built like deer and shoulder shots are not advised for a clean kill. Smaller sow's (<~125#'s) are better eating than big boars. Pretty much all the bullet suggestions here sound very reasonable. Hope this helps, I am just trying to repeat what professional hog hunters told me. [/QUOTE]
