I would think that would be too small of a round for the bigger piggies.Quote:

Pigs are very cooperative at times, the smaller ones tend to run in a staight line which solves the "should I lead them" problem. They do die, just not right then and there. I could only find 45 gr hollow points in 223/556 since most of the rounds for the smaller calibers fragment (not so good for your teeth or the meat). A head shot should result in a drt from almost any caliber. Easily the most fun I have ever had with my clothes on (gun or no gun).
I think it sounds like a blast!
I have a friend in TX who gets to hunt them while working! The hogs destroy the company's equipment, so the company provides 'eradication supplies (ammo & firearms)' to the willing/trained employees and they get to exterminate the pests!! We've talked about me coming down and helping out, but it'd be better if we could eliminate pests in our own State!!
