Hog caliber question

[tmurray]

My brother a couple weeks ago with his 204 and 32 gr to the ear did it no problem, DRT.

plenty of gun! give them a sporting chance and shoot them with a sling shot.

I've killed a truck load of them with a 22LR to the ear hole.

A .204 should scramble em up pretty darn good.

yes

as long as you dont miss, otherwise you will likely wish you had used more gun

20 plus years of using one caliber and nothing has ever walked away. Head shoot everything except bucks that are going to the taxidermist

Ear hole a 22 LR plus works. Shoulders go medium bore plus. It's not rocket science.

I killed my heaviest boar with a 22 LR. 385 on scales not guesstimating. 1 shot at 40 yards. Dead. I hit behind the ear. I was aiming at the earhole.

If I chose between the 204 and the 308 I would bring the 308. You can still earhole one with it. You can still break the shoulders if you have to.

I just bought an A17 Savage 17HMR. Plan on shooting hogs with it

A couple years ago while I was at work my dad called my and told me he had killed a hog at his house. He doesn't live far out in the country and the lot is only about an acre. He said he grabbed the first gun he saw, which was my savage .22lr he earholed it at 65 yds dropped it right there. You should be fine.

Used HMR mag 25 gr thru savage , ear shot deadly out to.......whatever.

I like a bullet with a large cross sectional density. Love hear the bullet smack and watching the hog lift up off the ground like he was flying somewhere only to loose lift and fall back to earth. I use my 338WSM with 200gr noslers and the 41 mag Ragin Bull pistol with 270gr hard cast but always drooled over one of them sweet 50 Beowulfs.

As compared to a 5.56

I love my .308. And if the pigs line up correctly I can get a 2-fer

Don't have a clue why the pics are sideways, but you get the idea anyway...

When I take pics with a vertical cell phone that's what they look like when I load them on here. If I turn the phone horizontally they will load normally on here.
