It's too light if you can't make the necessary head and neck shots and select the right bullet for the job.So, at this point, based on feedback, the 223 is to light, I guess I would be looking at an upper for my
Rock river Arms Predator Pursuit 223.
Any recommendations?
The 6.8 SPC has very little recoil at all. Even on my lightweight Mini 14 it's basically unnoticeable.Since this thread started stating that recoil was an issue, I think I will stick to 6.5 or below calibers.
I go to Fayetteville, TX area in the winter to train my retrievers,, and thought I would try my hand at shooting some hogs. What bullet do you recommend in a 1:8 twist?I have killed probaby close to 1k hogs in my life, 90% have been with a 233 ar15's and night vision or thermal, probaby 100 or so were with a little ruger 10/22 and a few here and there with a regular deer rifle calibers. Shoot them right behind the ear and your good to go, if they don't drop then throw a couple more rounds in them. Here in south Texas they are a huge problem, they cost farmers thousands and thousands of dollars in crop damages. I look at hogs the same way ranchers look a coyotes with calf's hitting the ground. Sure you can go up to larger calibers but we buy ammo by the thousands and the larger rounds cost too much to shoot that many rounds. Find a good 55-75gn soft point and have fun.

The 70gr Nosler Partition would be a very good choice. I've had good luck with the TTSX as well in both of my AR's.I go to Fayetteville, TX area in the winter to train my retrievers,, and thought I would try my hand at shooting some hogs. What bullet do you recommend in a 1:8 twist?
