I guess it depends on which end of it your on. I think the hogs it kills will think they just got thumped. As for a 45-70 Id say more like a sledgehammer than a thumper. And all that aint really needed for a pig

Make it interesting then an shoot a .22 Mag (WMR) for hogs instead of a .223. You can run from the police in a KIA Rio too but a Corvette or Porsche works much better.

Nice gun for plinking!

Nice AR!
I think my son's first hog hunt will be with an AR rifle in 223.
It's light, the stock can be shortened to fit him and recoil is minimal.
The 223 is not the ideal caliber for a hog or deer but if you hit it at the right spot it should do the job.

My wife and 15 year old shoot a .243 Remington 700 CDL with a 3-9x40 Leupold shooting 95 or 100 grain bullets. I killed three deer all walking together with fives shots from that gun at about 75-80 yards from a tree stand while hunting Kentucky in 2007 with 95 grain hollow points. The .223 you are limited to a 55 or 62 grain bullets. That's what I would recommend for a new shooter and youngster....
