[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1339409, member: 711"] I understand the desire to try a new gun, but even with the best .223 bullets available, the AR depends on good shot placement. We had some young guests on our lease last year, and they wanted to shoot a hog. We found the herd, let them go unsupervised (Our mistake) and told them in no uncertain terms, pick one, shoot it in the head, and if they don't run, do another one. Crap! Sounded like a Stallone movie. 40 shots later at a fleeing herd of hogs, there were six on the ground, only one of which was a large one, and five that wouldn't go fifty pounds. Dead pigs showed up for a week, I think 8 were found dead from wounds. Since every buzzard in southern Ok stayed around for a while, there were others we did not find. One old sow still has a horrible limp, but produces pigs and manages to stay with the herd. I am far from in love with hogs, but think this was a very poor example of sportsmanship, and a hopefully unintended exercise in cruelty. So, kill 'em with the AR, but place your shots and never spray and pray. Research which bullets are best and don't cheap out on something else. CB [/QUOTE]
