[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1672636, member: 105720"] I guess it depends on what you’re doing. I’ve shot some really large pigs with .223. Obviously I’m not going to shoot them at long range but in the 10-80m range where I typically work them I’ve never had one run. .223 is my go to for swamps because it’s light and cheap ammo. I’m not anti any of the other options, and I’m a fan of the Grendel as that round is really easy to get stupid good groups with and carries a lot of power. Sounds like .308 on steel at range too. Only caliber I don’t like from the list is 300 BO. I’ve lost a lot of fox and coons to .300 BO, I’m really disappointed in that caliber. I’ve tried a lot of different ammo and just don’t seem to get the expansion I need to anchor them, would have thought the .30 hole would be enough but it’s not traveling fast like the .223 so you don’t get the temporary cavity with it I think is part of the problem.
