What's a good hog caliber in ar platform?

The thing about hogs is it's all about shot placement not just caliber. The anatomy of a hog is something people don't take into account. The kill spot is actually rather small. Accurate shots are more important than anything if you ask me.

I have seen guys blow a hog away with a .308 and yeah he's dead for sure but I've hunted them with something as small as a 9mm pistol. It all depends on what you want to do and how you are hunting them.

This whole middy vs carbine gas has been overblown, with perceived &quot;softer&quot; shooting of the mid. Personally, I don't feel much of a difference. Your experiences may vary.

The great thing about WEVO is Beginners, like me, can get &quot;real&quot; help without the hype from people we respect. Thanks UWone77 and thanks, all of you.<br />

The good thing about hogs is you can experiment on them. A friend of mine has shot them with a .50 and they basically blow up on impact. A .300 Win Mag does a lot of damage too. .308 can flip em end over end.

But the way I like to go for them is to stalk them. It makes it a lot more fun and there is a variety of skills involved.

Some of the guys around here are shooting them from helicopters. Pretty much every form and format to hunt a hog is possible.
