Hey all! After scouring the interwebs for data regarding hunting hogs here in North Florida with .223, I have learned that apparently, it's either like hitting a hog with a hand grenade OR it's like shooting them with a rubber band gun
How useful.
I'm going on a hog hunt this weekend and I'll I've got laying around are .223s. I have my AR (M&P 15 Sport, Bushnell TRS 25 Red Dot, 1:9) for shots out to 75 yards and my Remington 700 (Redfield Revenge 3-9x42, 1:12) in case I need a little magnification.
I'm thinking my best bet for nailing a nice, fat, stinky hog is going to be popping one in the ear, preferably with a round that can handle both twist rates.
Cue the American Eagle .223 Tipper Varmint! Basically a 50 grain v max for about half the price. Anyone have any luck with these lighter grain rounds on hogs?
And please don't let this devolve into a ".223 ain't enough gun for pork" conversation. I can't handle another one today.
