I wonder how many pages this will go. It's quite obvious that it is adequate with a well placed shot. Don't really understand the disdain for the caliber. I don't think anyone's opinions are going to change. Cool gun Dave, hope you nag plenty of whatever you are shooting at.
Good lookin gun Bellyacher,I just got one myself will have to post pics when I put it back together.
Bag, not nag.
I have knifed hogs and have been amoungst a bunch in the palmettos with only a dog and knife. Here is a 223 hog for ya.NOT much damage there
Nice shot, glad he held still long enough to get that shot. Most of us don't have the opportunity to take a clean head shot and have to take heart/lung shots if we want to kill something.

Hopefully not long. The "disdain" for the caliber is because some of our members have been giving advise to one of our new forum members who has less than two years of experience shooting and hunting and advising him that a .223 is adequate in any hunting scenerio. It's called bad advise, especially to a new hunter, i.e. don't take a knife to a gun fight!
Personally I prefer .22 WMR for a shooting gallery scenerio on hogs, but in the real world of hunting hogs in the wild, not farm land feral hogs, I prefer and recommend a .30 caliber weapon or shotgun with slugs, that's solid advise for someone new to the sport.
