[QUOTE="jfbyerstx, post: 1849918, member: 113489"] I have no problems with using 223 or 5.56 for hogs. I do like a 62 or 68 grain bullet and shot placement is one of the most important things. With that said I have to favorites that are AR15's 1st is my trusted 375 H&H mag with 275 or 300 grain bullet generate a little over 4400 EFPS and the next is a old Ruger Deerslayer 44 mag carbine with a 240 or 260 grain bullet. The 375 H&H is good and accurate out to 300 or so yard about the same as 30.06 in trajectory. I believe you could shoot out to 500 with it, but my shoulder has never wanted to get it sighted in at 500. The 44 Ruger Deerslayer is good out to 100 yards or so, but is real effective up close and has a heck of a punch. Like said I have no problem with 223 and 62 - 68 grain bullet along with shot place. If you use a SS109 bullet then shoot for the head and let that bullet do what it does "penetrate" [/QUOTE]
