I use what I have, either a 243 or the 270.

Any of those are more than enough with good shot placement. Subsonic 300 BLK works with expanding bullets like the Lehigh 194 max expansion. Point being that has less energy than any of what you already have so you are good. Use bullets designed for game hunting. For example, if you handload, the Barnes TSX and TTSX bullets are devastating.

What was said about shot placement is indeed important. I wait for a broadside shot and go for the spinal column in the neck between the head and the shoulders. Look at an anatomical drawing of a pig because their spine is strange in that it runs through the middle of their neck and not along the top like one would normally think.

I think you boys have left something out. You have to think out of the box.

Wont a 50 caliber get the job done in one shot??

I say Double naught is wrong.

the 50 will drop em no matter where you hit that hog.

I've been having a great time with my 300 Ham'r and the 130 HotCor. The hogs, not so much. It has become my favorite go-to hog whacker because it is light, deadly, and the recoil is negligible. We old whimps love ourselves some light, deadly, low recoiling rifles!

6.5 grendel is my main hog gun
