Default Re: Hog hunting. Which gun to use?

Of the choices I would use the 30-06. I don't walk much when I hog hunt but wait for them to come out to a feeder or just feed. I loaded some CT Partitions last year and used them on hogs. I shot a 150# hog with it in the lungs and it ran a little and then piled up. The CT was like a bomb when it hit the lungs. If you use the AR then shoot them behind the ear, as I wouldn't trust it for a lung shot and then have to follow up usually after dark.
