[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1791304, member: 99039"] I have a 223 and just upgraded to a 6.5 Grendel, I have killed hogs with the 223 upper on the AR, have not had the opportunity to shoot any with the 6.5 Grendel yet, I dropped hogs in there tracks with the 223, you just have to shoot them in the neck, behind the ear to break the neck. I shot three one night in March, all at the same bait pile, they never ran off after each shot, the hogs never made a sound shooting them in the neck/ear area, not sure if that was the reason or not for the others not leaving. When you do build your AR, keep in mind the trigger is another major aspect of the build. The Mil-Spec triggers are very tough, the one that came in mine broke between 6.5lbs (once) to 8.5lbs majority of the time. I upgraded to a Rise Armament drop in trigger that breaks at 3 to 3.5lbs each time, nice clean break no creep. Good luck on your build and let us know what you end up doing. [/QUOTE]
