[QUOTE="co_nucleus, post: 2436601, member: 109399"] If you are planning to handload, a 7mm-08 with a Nosler 120 BT works well for hunting hogs to deer. I don't have personal experience but trusted posts on this forum and others have confirmed that it works well. For some reason, that bullet has a thicker jacket and doesn't break up as much on close shots. I loaded some but didn't draw a tag this last season. A 120 Nosler BT at 2800 fps and 8# rifle puts recoil in the 30-30 Win ballpark and slightly more than the 243 Win. Nosler showed a factory load but might be hotter than you are going to want.
