[QUOTE="HogWildFL, post: 1275147, member: 99907"] I am primarily a hog hunter and do not take long shots and do not like recoil as well. I have seen multiple hog shot with multiple calibers in different scenarios. My vote would be a 7mm-08 for a rifle hands down. Im not a ballistics expert but for some reason it is the most effective and seems to leave the best blood trail hands down. In your short range situation nothing beats a slug gun but there again its more recoil. My 10 year old daughter shoots em with a 7MM-08 AND .243 and has done so since she turned five for her first kill! I ordered a 7mm-08 today for my self and ordered all the parts to build her a .308 (Why she needs it I dont know but whatever!) Primarily I use Federal Vital Shock or Hornady SST and have had 100% success. [/QUOTE]
