Default RE: .40 caliber carbine for HOG HUNTING.
ORIGINAL: Snakebite101

I have a Highpoint .40 carbine.Is a .40 caliber an ok round to whack a WILD HOG.The rifle is very reliable and acurate with 10 rounds to back me up,or should i stik with my .308 semi REM.I bought the carbine so i can carry my Glock 23C as a sidearm and carry the same ammo.
Let me get this straight. Are you talking about the wimpy little .40 S&W pistol round in a carbine?? If so, I believe you'd be more successful throwing rocks at them hogs! As BigCountry said, get a hunting gun! Hogs are tough- a .44 Magnum is about minimum for shooting hogs!
