i use the 75gr Hornady BTHP or Black Hills 68/69 gr HP with good effect on pigs...these rounds shoot pretty well out of my guns and the reason i use 223 is because of the faster follow up shots i get versus a 308 but i also limit the range to about 150 yards...if they were farther than that on a consistent basis i would opt for a 308 instead

You can only have too much ammo if you are on fire or swimming....
