Default Too much gun?

the other day while i was in the ammo store i heard a guy getting extremely upset about nothing. i mean this guy's blood pressure was getting up there over nothing! he was in heated a debate that hunters these days use way too much gun for the kill on game. he stated that all you need for hogs is a little old .222. he said all you have to do is hit them in the eye. lol. i wanted laugh out loud when he said but this old timer might of whooped me. LOL. i hunt every chance i get and do a lot of hog hunting. i've shot them with a rifle as small as the 6 mm up to a .338-378 weatherby. i do prefer a 30 caliber bullet on most game. I believe in such a thing as not enough gun. when all you find is a blood trail and cant find the animal.... not enough gun. i've hit 250+ lb hogs in the ham with a 30 caliber bullet and it might not have killed on the spot but they didn't move far. so is there such a thing as too much gun?
