[QUOTE="mwellb, post: 1719467, member: 111226"] I’ve hunted Texas Hill Country hogs for quite a few years. I do not hesitate to carry my 243 loaded with 85gr Sierra hpbt and a conservative powder charge. With that said, I am talking hunting from a blind with all shots under 200yd. Personally, I would not stalk with a 243. I would at least move up to 1/4 bore or more. I’d just feel more confident due to the chances of a close encounter or less than ideal shot opportunity. My 25-06 knocks them down real good with a 115gr nosler ballistic tip. Took the hog in avatar with that round. [/QUOTE]
