[QUOTE="wademe, post: 2110452, member: 27181"] I hunt hogs in pretty heavily wooded country... so because of this I use a heavier caliber... first hog i shot i did so with one of my favorite calibers, 243. although it was a fatal double lung shot, that hog ran, and ran, and ran...down into a 75 foot ravine and i thought i was gonna die getting it back out...anyone that has hunted around spavinaw knows what I am talking about... \ Since then I have killed several with my marlin 336 which performs very well for hogs. for ammo in my 30-30 i use the hornady leverevolution. also I have used my 8mm mauser and was very impressed, but i reload for the 8mm so it is not your standard underloaded factory ammo... but there is alot of far fetched stories about hogs. I seriously have killed just as many with my 357 magnum single action revolver and my RIA 1911 45acp as i have with my rifles... i dropped one that dressed over 200lbs with my 357 at 40 yards... 158gr hunting load did the trick just fine... All of this is to say, if you are accurate with your 336 its all the gun you will ever need... [/QUOTE]
