Wouldn’t you want a beefier cartridge for hunting hog?

My brother does pretty darn well with the .223 and feral pigs.

He can keep me oversupplied.

Yeah I was wondering how long it would take CNN to get around to this subject.

Lots of guys use the AR for hogs here in TX.

There are rounds that would work better and you can get AR uppers in all kinds of calibers, but for an open shot, 5.56x45 should be sufficient.

At today’s prices I would use 5.45x39.
