[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2438193, member: 42494"] Semi and .308 head shots only for me here in FL. I don't like chasing a hog 30 yds+ on my hands and knees through the brush at night and discovering it's fighting mad. I like them falling in their tracks and only tracking them a few inches. My buddy got rid of his 223s because too many hogs ran away. I use a 308 because that was the only AR-10 available years and years ago. Now I would probably get a lighter weight 6mm ARC, Grendal, etc in an AR-15. One disadvantage not discussed so far is the noise of the bolt action chambering a round chasing hogs away. The clank, clank, clank of a bolt after the first shot keeps hogs from returning. They don't hear the semi clambering another round and I believe associate the shot with the sound of thunder and often return for more shots. I routinely get several hogs returning to the blind using a semi. The dead hog laying there is just ignored by them. [/QUOTE]
