[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1339533, member: 229"] .223 is fine for hogs - its a deep-penetrating round and with proper ammo (as you said), it will easily drop a Hog. I'd say that poor sportsmanship is definitely right-on in your story, but I just don't think that the .223 had as much to do with it as irresponsible shooters who got excited and lost their whits for a bit. .68-.75gr bullets are nice, but they're not even necessary - I use 55gr and have never had an issue dispatching a hog. Having extra ammo is probably a temptation for some folks to empty what they have into aggressive animals, but I'm rarely in an area where I have the luxury of wasting ammo (deep in the woods with little to no cell-coverage and the afore mentioned 2-legged critters). If folks keep their heads right and remember that they're hunting and not at war, they should have no issues with staying safe around aggressive animals. [/QUOTE]
