[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 866189, member: 229"] I don't necessarily think you need the heaviest bullet you can load, because with proper shot placement, you can drop them with a 55gr .223, but I absolutely agree with the pistol part. I don't hunt Hogs with a bolt gun (I use my AR) and I always carry a pistol (then again, I don't hunt from a stand and just mostly hike around in the bottoms). I typically use 68gr and 75gr .223 rounds so I would imagine that you could use some of the smaller .243 ammo with little problems. Big males aren't even that scary when you stumble on a mama and her babies, that's when its good to have a semi-auto that's easy to wield and aim at multiple targets quickly. I've seen huge hogs that were pretty docile and I've seen little ones that were pretty angry and aggressive but I've yet to see a great big hog that just wanted to come after me yet. Hopefully I never do, but if they start coming, I've got plenty of quick shots for them :) [/QUOTE]
