Interesting discussion. I have shot pigs with my 220, 270, 223, and 260. The 270 works great. The 220 kills them, but they run a ways. The 223, depending on the bullet, can work Ok. And for the last few years, I've tried 100 gr Nosler BT's and 120 gr BT's in the 260. I shoot em in the shoulder, and I am now firmly convinced that the 120 gr in the 260 is noticeably more effective on hogs than the 100 gr version.
