[QUOTE="porkchop401, post: 1571172, member: 29195"] I am not advocating taking a 22 rim-fire on a hog hunt unless it is required buy some regulation . That being said i have killed over a hundred on public land while either buy a chance encounter while squirrel hunting in the WMA or while following around a couple of gritty cur dogs until they bay. Either way it is a close range game where a shot between the ear and eye makes quick work of any hog encountered (280lb was the largest) I have found where my options are unlimited and ranges are longer say out to 200 yds. a 223 is more than sufficient though head shots are still required . When not talking about head shots a high velocity 6.5 or larger seems to be the ticket . Also im talking about hogs that are over 75lb ish in size. I am currently figuring out a louisiana varmint rifle build and am leaning hard towards a 223 bolt gun. [/QUOTE]
