What is a good caliber for hogs and predators?

[bearhunter]

how would a bonded bullet like federal fusion in 223 work hold togathier for hogs and not mess up to much pelt on varmins

[bearhunter]

above just a thought i think am trying above ammo fusion when varmin hunting and ssts when hog hunting would use fusion on hog if one come along while calling yotes am shooting a bushmaster 6.8

I would go with 223 in an AR 1/8 or 1/7 barrel. This will allow you to shoot lighter varmint bullets and heavier ones for hogs. AR is more than accurate out to 300yds for both.

I've killed a bunch of varmints and hogs with my AR

Think bullet choice instead of caliber. 223 or 22-250 could both be perfect if the proper bullet is used.

I'm a new fan of the 223. Don't see how you can go wrong with it.

Nail on the head right there !!

I say .243 of you are wanting another gun.

Depends on how far your shootin. Takin shots at pigs at the end of a long field 6.5 or 7mm.

22-250 with 50 gr tsx.
Little damage on predators.
Devastating on hogs.

Anything you can shoot well will work.

I'm not concerned with saving the pelt on hogs or predators, nor am I a fan of tracking them after the shot. My single shot 45-70 accommodates both of my inclinations in this matter.

This works for me.

I've shot bobcats, foxes and yotes with 22-250 and 223 both using 55gr vmax the exit hole was pretty bad. There's no problem with pigs for either cal just good shot placement. Want to start shooting predators with my 17hmr to see how that does

[aac_shooter]

Usually it is a 223 pushing a 55 grain Nosler ballistic tip (handloads).

Nice guns and good shootin there.
