[QUOTE="dan1953, post: 2007820, member: 91164"] I have helped a bunch of people shoot their first hog and their tenth hog. I use a 6.5 grendel, bolt and semi most the time, I have killed them with an bow, crossbow, airgun, 17 hmr, 17 wsm, 22lr. all manner of high powered rifle .223 - 7mm mag, lever actions .38cal to 45-70, pistol calibers .38, .357, 45 long colt, I am sure I am forgetting half a dozen. I live in central Florida and we have loads of them, but they are not bullet proof. I did see a Winchester XP in .308 blow a hole the size of a man's fist in a hogs shoulder - the bullet blew up and didn't enter the vitals. I believe they are tough to kill because of anatomy and kill zone. I head/neck shoot most of them with a rifle/expanding bullet. I would not use a "frangible" bullet and try to shoulder shoot one.
