I was at a local gun shop when a young man walks in and says I want to start hunting hogs what caliber do you suggest. The guy behind the counter says I’ve heard the 300 win mag is good for them. The other guys around me start telling him that he has to have a 270 or 30-06 with a 180gr minimum. Now I’ve taken 1000’s of hogs with smaller calibers .22lr 22 mag 22-250 .243 and most recently .17 WSM all lighter grain rounds with great success. Use AR’s at work and just never got into them so never used .223 but know a lot who have with no issues. What are your thoughts. No wrong opinions. Just curious what the answers would be in the same situation for a new young hunter.
