Isn't .50 cal for elephants??? Lol it would be fun though!

Tough to beat a shotgun with buckshot for close shots.

i still need to get my .450 bushmaster after some hogs

Get video of that

Nail on the head. Like I said, I prefer my 270, but only because I like shooting it. Its a lot of gun for hogs, but they don't run either. The 9 I shot with a 22 didn't run much, (10/15 feet). Had to shoot 2 of them twice though. Not so they wouldn't run, but they needed out of their misery.

the woods aren't the ghetto, get a hunting gun, and go hunting.

not many hogs where i hunt, and they only come at night when we can't hunt them(oklahoma) , maybe soon maybe soon. been looking for a place a little closer to nail some, but no luck yet

Not one person mentioned the proven 45-70.....405gr slug should put down any size Hog....

Nah that'll bounce off the legendary armor plate that big boars have, take nothing less than a 20mm into the field if you value your life!

Oh your right KC--heck I had my 45-70 bouce off an Armadillo...forgot about that Armour Plate thingy...

Weak little ole pissant of a gun, what did you expect man!?!?! Hogs are invincible tank like creatures from another dimension, our weapons are useless against them!

*Raises hand* Yes, sir, it IS fun! Granted, we're on two different .50 cal pages. I was deer hunting during muzzleloader season quite a few years back. Didn't see SQUAT, but had a hog come out under the feeder. Put a nice 50 cal ball into him and dropped him on the spot.

Outside of that, I use a .308 or a 12ga with buck. .357 mag or .45 ACP as my sidearm.

Personally I shoot a 45-70 Government.....they don't run off!

Has anyone ever used one of those pig bombs to bring em in. They sell them in academy, it's an aeresol can that you set up and spray .

AK-47 7.62X39 perfect round for hogs !!

I shot one Monday night a little under 350lbs with a 12g 00buck from 15 yards scared me to death but he dropped were he was standing on the first shot. I will post a pic asap.

Dont rule out the old slug gun, works for bears.. most folks allready have a shot gun , thinken of going down to a 20 the 12 rocks. extended tube if you have too. so theres 5 plus. what you can pocket. shots are short. pratice @ 50 and hold tight.

I heard the 556 is the pinical of hog rounds...

.223 with 75 grain SMKs works fine for me.

SMK's work for me everytime!!

What do you use? Post pics of your kills......

That's funny right thar!

What do yall think of the high point carbine .45 caliber??

5.56mm. it's the only way to go........ 30 rounds of hog killin black awsome............

I would say it's all about the placement. I've used my .243 to my 30-30 while my buddy sat next to me with his .223. He laid one down with a great shot behind the ear. Any caliber would work, it's just which one you prefer the most.
