I do both when ridding a place of hogs. I don't care how they die just that they die.
That's why you can shoot them with a .22...you can walk right up and pop em in the head at point blank range

Then over that I use the .223. If I am hunting in deer season then I will have my .223 and .270 so I use what is handiest depending on the shot.

kmon 1 when I am hunting by myself I usually don't take pics of bucks with me in the pic either. That is why I have them mounted.

I like the .223, but think a mag would have a tough time killing one without a dang good placed shot. I have seen jackrabbits run after being hit with a mag.

Understand that, Sometimes I take a pic of the buck with the gun but very seldom have one with me in the pic. The size bucks you have posted pics of I would need another wall to have them mounted as well

So they drop in their tracks with a .243 or .223 and they run when hit with an 06 no, the 06 would DRT them in the head, neck, shoulder, behind the shoulder and once it knocked down two at the same time. my first hunt with the 6.8, i put one in his neck (spine line) and he dropped like a stone but seconds later, he got up and headed for the bush. i got off a second shot but the dust made it hard to see. i have since added a more powerful scope and plan to stick it in their ear.

I also like looking at other pics on here of them also. Especially for those guys who take the time and effort to post up as story with the pics. What I think is a trophy or not does not effect how I treat what someone else views of what they take. I just don't take the time to take pics of hogs, coyotes, bobcat, does, culls etc for the most part.

is that had enough power to drop the hog over 200lbs? My wife uses FMJ .223 out of a RRA varmint and she dropped a 140ish pound sow at 130 yds. . . right in the chest.

I shoot a 243 and have not had a hog ever run more than 20 yards! Put and caliber behind the ear and they will drop, its not the caliber its the accuracy!
