[QUOTE="Stormrider, post: 284374, member: 6072"] I just got in from hog hunting. It was the first time I got to use my 300/221 AR to shoot at something besides paper and steel. I managed to shoot one hog. She wasn't very big but the bullet was impressive. We were hunting at about 11 pm and it was dark enough that we couldn't really see the hogs at 25 yards, so I lit them up with a flashlight and shot a small sow. I was using M118LR 175g bullets running just under 1600 f/s and when I hit this sow in the left rear leg it went all the way through the body and out the right front shoulder. She didn't move 10 feet. Total penetration was 14-16 inches. I'm going to be using the 300/221 AR for hogs again. Great fun! [/QUOTE]
