Im only going to be shooting about 20 yards. I have large groups of 20-30 coming in every morning and evening. Most days there coming in for a mid day snack as well. Im thinking a shotgun with no plug and buckshot. whats the ob think?

I am going buy about 10lbs of exploding target.
Putting it in the middle of a big pile of corn.
Hogs gather around for a nice family dinner.
Boom!
I am expecting major carnage.
Will report back with results.

If you have groups like that, I would for sure use an AR. Or an auto shotgun with no plug and buckshots or

#4 buckshot and hope you hit them in the gut so they run far enough away from your feeder area or setup and die so you don't have to spend a ton of time removing dead pigs from your area.
Thats how I would work it, but I also think pigs over about 60lbs aren't worth a hill of beans.

Last time I checked, which was a while back, I don't think you could pull your plug out of your shotgun, even to hunt hogs. I could be wrong though, and even then, you'd probably have to piss off ol' green jeans to get in trouble for that.
Shotgun would probably be pretty effective... if you're a decent shot with a rifle, an AR with open sights or a reflex/eotech would work well. It won't take them long to clear out though.
The advantage of having a rifle would be that you could try and line as many of them up in a row and get a few on the first shot(probably need more than .223 to get more than two though).

If you just want them gone, I'd spray them with an AR-15 (some may die on the spot, but most others will run off and die).
If you want to drop them quicker to harvest meat, go with an AK-47 or SKS.
Either way, go with a semi-auto rifle (maybe even a semi-auto shotgun).
As you know, you have to get your shots off quick since porky & family will scatter after the first shot (hence, no pump action shotgun). I've had hogs survive hits from my 870, but not at 20 yards.

22-250 .223 .243 all neck shots drops them where they stand. But if you want to have fun stick a few with your bow its great practice for hitting moving targets.

What you said or a semi automatic rifle. Also wait around after the shot(s) they sometimes come back.

NOT buckshot. Buckshot is worthless on pigs over 300 pounds even at point blank range. I know this from experience. The buckshot won't make it past the hide and fat.
I prefer any rifle that is accurate enough for head shots on the really big ones.
