I don't know what 223 yaw is and we hunt pigs all year here in Texas. Killed literally 100 or more with 223 over the past decade. Take a head shot, middle of head (shoot in the "cheek") half way between ear and bottom of jaw - directly below ear. Any angle, any bullet. 1 and done.
It's a huge target - easily as big as a softball on pigs over 100 lbs.
A person starts body shooting pigs, well mister, the 223 ain't your "thang". I prefer 30 caliber or believe it or not, 44 magnum out of a lever gun, 240 Soft Points go through pigs, big pigs, like smoke.
So fun.
I have a you tube channel - search Ranch Fairy on you tube. Lot's of pig blasting and tutorials.
Have a great day
