re: 223 load for hogs

I have those winchesters in .223 for my AR. The "razorback" round. It's very effective, but its not the Hammer of the Gods that a well placed high velocity .30 caliber bullet can be.

Regardless of caliber or bullet choice, kill every hog you can see. If it gets dark, use night vision. The only reason to stop shooting pigs is if you run out of ammo.
