    Two key aspects to this upfront, which have a huge effect on confidence. Never in my life have I had such an easy cartridge to find a working load for. And never have I had a rifle that dealt out...

    While you can kill a pig with a .22lr, bigger, more powerful calibre's open your options. The good old .308 would be my go-to for big boars, although that shield can still present some difficulty. ...

    really depends on shot placement I guess, hit a soft spot they will pencil through and it's down to luck if you hit vitals and do enough damage to drop em fast, hit a boney shoulder and likely they...

    If he has a pig problem there will be a lot of little ones either still with mum or weaned. It's the little guys that do the damage by skimming the grass off over large areas, there noses can't root...

    A stout pill in most calibers will do it. A barnes ttsx will show them who's boss!

    Pigs hate being shot and don't stand up to it. What this means is that most any centrefire 222 and up is ok. Don't shoot big boars if you can choose a smaller pig as they will likely be tough,...

    I hit an average sized boar in the neck with 308 168gr sierra matchking. It was pretty close at 15yards or so but those copper jacket hollow points do the job a treat. It blew a huge exit hole and he...
