+1 .

I've tried .30 caliber, and I've tried .223 as well. I killed hogs with both, but I prefer the larger bullet. I'm currently using a 180 grain SP bullet out of an AR-10 and liking it.

I'm not sure, but I think it was Smokey Yunick who said "There's no substitute for cubic inches". Of course it depends upon the size of the animal, but I tend to bring somewhat that same philosophy to hog hunting. Bigger is usually better, within reason.

Of course, as someone else later commented, "There's no substitute for cubic dollars!". However, I'm not in a position to be able to either confirm nor deny that statement.
