Hi,

Fir the last few years my place has been heavy with hogs. Me and A shooting buddy if mine have dealt with most at about a hundred a year.

I use a 223 he uses a 22-250, but we have many years experience and are confident with shot placement and rarely shoot aver 150 yards. Very few get away, but a 243 is probably better, especially if longer range is normal.

This is a 40 pound hog from 30 yards with 55gn softies.
