[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1345172, member: 30902"] Pigs that size are no challenge at all, many even larger are killed regularly with head/neck shots from .204, .223, and .220 swift. Your issue is 800yds + on deer sized game. You're really stretching the effective boundaries of the non magnum 6.5, 7mm, and even .30 cal rounds due to a lack of energy. When energy is low pinpoint accuracy and proper shot placement are essential to getting a clean, quick, one shot kill. Step up to the .264 wm, 7mm RM, 7mm STW, or .300wm or their Nosler counterparts and your back in the game with a greater margin of error. If you're not going to reload, the 7mm RM and .300wm are probably your best options due to the availability of factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
