[QUOTE="MZmoose, post: 2008021, member: 41085"] We used .223, 6.8 SPC, and AR-10 in .308 for several years. The .308 was noticably more effective than the other two cartridges but they all worked on the smaller pigs. Then we got on a ranch that had some legit 200+ lb boars and the .223 and 6.8 were not performing well. Pigs taking multiple hits and we were unable to recover all of them. Last year we switched to the .458 SOCOM. Hits like a hammer and we didn't lose one pig. Most drop on the spot or leave great blood trails, short blood trails. Most of our shots were 100 yds or less with an occasional 200yd shot. We jump shoot em in the thick stuff during the day, sit blinds at dusk, and use thermals to sneak up on them at feeders at night. It is one of my favorite hunting trips. [/QUOTE]
