“anyways the Texican posole was bad ass... made with wild hog meat”

I have seen Posole spelled with both an S and a Z.

I hear that Texas has a problem with the Wild Hogs, Would be fun to try out my AR in .458 SOCOM. Not sure if it would be enough Gun for one of them Bad Boys.

You can kill them with a .22 cal. if you hit them in the ear...They move fast, so a large caliber semiauto is good..

Surely you jest. A .458 *anything* is gonna be enough gun for a hog.

The last time I went hunting wild pigs was in California, south of Hollister. I used my FN-FAL in .308 (this was many years ago when 'assault rifles' were quite rare and not at all illegal / subject to massive paranoia). I didn't feel undergunned. (I had a 20 round mag, which I guess is a bozo-no-no, but I was blissfully unaware of that fact, and only had a few rounds in the mag. The damn gun is heavy enough without carrying 1/2 a brick of .308 around with it.)

I've always wanted a .40 caliber. I really like the .416 Remmington Mag, but even Remington seems to be losing interest in it. It's big $$$ as the only guns it comes in are Custom Shop jobs.

Now I'm thinking I'll get a Marlin .444. I already load .44 mag and so can use the same bullets, I like lever actions and need a few more, it comes with iron sights, which saves a few more bucks, and would be a fine winter elk rifle in the thick, wet woods in the Oregon coastal range I hunt in now.

But I'm pretty sure your .458 will do the trick.

It holds an "appropriate" number of rounds for Oregon/Washington hunting regs as standard, too.
