[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1582636, member: 2736"] In my opinion hogs need to be hunted with something that produces around 2,000 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle for quick clean kills. There are many choices and I recommend this because head shots are not always available. If you are serous about eradicating hogs, you must put them down hard. I have shot hundreds of hogs with everything from a 17 HMR to a 338 RUM and there was no comparison between the small fast cartridges and anything from 6.5 up. Most of the hogs that were shot with small cartridges were eventually found and many had to be finished off. But the ones shot with larger more powerful cartridges 6.5 and up were anchored where they stood. If I am hunting with a smaller cartridge and a hog presents himself, I will take the shot only if I have a head shot otherwise, I pass for another day. (Better to pass and harvest another day, than to shoot and loose for ever). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
