RE: CALIBER QUANDRY...HELP
Schoolcraft
At 100yds either would work just as well with the bullet mentioned. The secret is the bullet. In real world situations just about any bullet in .277, .284, .308 caliber will flat out kill any deer in north America provided it was placed well. Hog are a little tougher, though some would argue that. As long as you realize this and use an appropriate bullet such as the partition or other controlled expansion bullet you will be fine. I would not hesitate to shoot a large hog with my 25-06 given the proper bullet construction and a good shot opportunity. So it really goes back to what you are comfortable with and want. Find what you like and use the appropriate bullet and you will have not problems. An appropriate bullet with good placement will equal dinner on the table.
