[QUOTE="Huckelberry75, post: 1201658, member: 7489"] I hit one with an 8mm Mauser and he dropped like a rock. He sqealed once and that was it. It is all about bullet placement. I grant you, they can be tough, but if you put it in the right spot, they wont go far. I will happily take either a head shot or through both shoulders. If you shoot out his wheels, he wont run any further than you can spit. If that doesnt work, shoot out his spine and go pick up your pork chops. I am of the school founded by the greats like Teddy Roosevelt and Robert Ruark, "Use Enough Gun". Personally, I feel that a .223 is too light for hogs. I am certainly not saying that you shouldn't use one, because lets face it, a .22 short will do the job if you hit them right. But, I would prefer have insurance rather than a magazine to spray the brush that a wounded hog ran into. I want to blow out his shoulders and boiler room or put one in his ear and turn out the lights with enough horse power that I don't have to worry about anything. Just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
