[QUOTE="Primal, post: 1710024, member: 111235"] I can only comment on hog hunting in my home state of Alabama. I do know from personal experience that the 243 is lethal on hogs in Alabama, and it’s not uncommon to see 300 plus pound hogs. Of the 10 that I killed last year with 243, the smallest was around 125 and the largest was 240. I’ve taken hogs with a 30.06, 7mm STW, and a 20 gauge ultra slug that shot a 225 grain Hornady with a sabot bullet. Given a choice, I will always choose my 243 for two reasons...first, I know what it can do and second, I know the gun well enough to think I can’t miss it. It shoot a 100 grain Hornady BTSP and haven’t had to trail any of them further than 20 yards. [/QUOTE]
