I haven't ever shot a free roaming hog. And don't think I really want to. I have however killed a bunch of hogs and all with 22 Long rifles. Shot one in the forehead one day and it knockd him down ..for a second. 2nd one was in the heart and he was done but that was in controlled circumstances. I also would not shoot a porker in the wild with a 223 either. unless it was the right shot. That probably don't happen too often with a hog.
Neat lookin rifle there Double R. I have 3 of the AR platform rifles and shoot coyotes with mine and some P dogs. One is just fer havin in case the gummit tells me I can't have one. And no reflection on anyone here..But they really aren't my idea of a real huntin rifle. I like wood and steel. Heck one of the reasons I don't like Grocks. I even like wooden grips on my handguns. I might shoot one of them Hogs at close range with my 500 Smith. Long as he wasn't lookin at me
