[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 3009208, member: 313"] When I hunted hogs down in Georgia, the outfitter supplied the guns, thermals and ammo. We had two choices of guns/ammo. You could select a .223 with Hornady 77 HPBT bullets or a 6.5 Creed with 140 HPBT. Both dropped hogs but the Creed that I was shooting put down BIG hogs with more authority. I should add that we did not shoot for their heads. Pigs were running like crazy and hits were all over the place. We also hunted in Texas recently and we were using AR-10s in .308. The guides supplied any kind of mis-matched ammo that they could find at Wally-World. The .308 is really the best option for poor shot placement, which is fairly common when twenty hogs start running all out! To answer the OP question - bigger is better, use the 77gr. [/QUOTE]
