I shot a 600 plus hog with a .270 w/ core lokt ammo. went strait through
I would use the 270 again but not with the corelokt ammo i was told alot of places dont allow it on their ranches cause it doesnt mushroom it just goes strai through and with my experience with it i wouldnt use it cause i had to shoot the hog 4 times to drop it all were placed shots to.

i've killed a few with .30-06 and .308 with Sierra 150 grain SBT bullets. Only had one run any distance. The vast majority of my hogs have been shot with a .50 muzzle loader, includinga European boar thatweighed over 350 pounds field dressed.Mostthat were shotwith the M/L bang/flopped. Think that i have been blessed with good luck killing hogs.

My neighbor shot a 400 pound boar a few years ago that absorbed two shots broadside with 240 grain XTP bullets in front of 150 grains of Pyrodex.After the second shot the hog was lying on his side as we approached. My neighbor yelled: "He is breathing." With that the hog jumped up and came after me. Shot him between the eyes at about 15 feet. Hard to find a hog in a scope at that distance.

There was a 90 pounder who was shot at from a tree stand rest at over 175 yards with the M/L. The bullet missed him low under the belly. Bullet hit a rock under him, exploded and unzipped his belly for its full length. He quickly laid down in the brush and i got him.

Good luck with the hogs!!!

I can now vouch for the 25-06 with Hornady 117's ! Took my very first hog and man it really did the job,in fact after looking at the damage I kinda figure a .223 would have no issues at all dropping one and much cheaper ammo

My favorite hog gun, it's a single shot.

I'm with Rev on this one! Bow hogs are a blast!

45/70 Gov. 'nuff said(at least until my funding allows me to get into reloading)

400 grain arrow with a .40 caliber backup.

I have never killed one out in the wild, but when we butcher I always shoot them in the middle of the forehead with a 22 rifle. Drops them instantly.

140 gr winchester failsafe, 7mm-08. I shot one in the kill zone last year and it was clean through it andthrough his brothers head. Headshot fell over like a stone, the other ran about five yards before he fell over.

I shot one with my 300 WSM, with a 180 grain power point behind the front shoulder, and she dropped like a rock.
