I've been hunting hogs with my AR for over 5 years. During that time I've tried everything from nosler partitions that my friend loaded, Federal 62gr SP, Hornady 55gr poly tip, hornady 55gr sp, Devil Green Tip FMJ, Black Hills ammo etc.
My hands down favorite load for deer and hogs turned out to be the 55gr DRT ammunition. I have yet to shoot a hog or deer and have it run off. They have always dropped with in a few yards. I actually use the DRT ammo in my .308 for longer range hunting. This past season I took a shot on a buck at 227yds and hit him just below the chest in the front leg. The bullet fragmented as it was supposed to do and the fragments took out his heart. He dropped a few yards away. I'm convinced that if I had used a traditional bullet, I would have broken his leg and he would have run far far away. I pulled the shot and the poor shot placement was my fault entirely. That being said, the DRT ammo does its job.
