Amen. The only way I'd hunt hogs with a 243 would be if a cool shot with that 303 and 180CLs was standing next to me - with his safety off!

I broke both shoulders of one with a 308 once, and the mean SOB managed to "sled" himself into a massive brush tangle using his rear legs. I took one look at the foot-tall game tunnel leading back into that thorn hell and - despite my conscience- abandoned that one. Too dangerous.
