Killed one here in East Texas that went just a touch over 500 and it looked a lot like that one except black with a longer head and more "Russian" profile overall.

Just for clarification, that is not a hog I shot. It was supposedly shot in South Texas, no other information but I would guess it is close to 1000 pounds. Hogs are amazingly dense and heavy. This is the typical size I shoot and it weighed 210 pounds (on a hanging fairly accurate scale) Rick, 500 pounds is a large hog, about like shooting a B&C whitetail. The pic of the large hog was mostly for humor. Even with a 500 pound hog I would like to have my 375 Ruger in hand as they can be hard to kill.

That would be an ideal package for the cited purposes and parameters. LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.

Even more interesting (to me) is the coyote trying to catch a little pig at about 27 seconds into it. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

BMT Campfire Ranger B Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 21,824 Likes: 3 Alvadore, Oregon	Originally Posted by Swampman700 I'd consider a Remington 7600 carbine in .308 or .30-06. The 7600 30-06 carbine is a great hog smacker. I've used a Savage 99 in 308 often. Any standard is fine (270, 280, 30-06, 35 whelen, 308, 7-08, etc.).
