The 4 trips to Tenn that we have been on were in pretty thick
cover. the action is many times fast and very unpredictable. IMO,
it has been no place for anything less than a fast handling rifle
(or shotgun) shooting anything less than 140-150 gr bullet. The last two
I shot were less than 50 yds. The last one at 30 yds on a fast charge.
In more open ground, the small stuff might be ok. Personally, I have had
the best luck with my 45/70 Marlin shooting 300g Sierra HP's at 2300fps.
With all 4 pigs, the first thing to hit the dirt was their snout. As for using
a 223 on pig? IMHO a person would have to be nuts to go after mean, pissed off 400lbs +
animals with a 223 rem. Would you go after Black Bear with a 223? Not me.
