Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 223 performance on hogs?

I use the Sierra 65 gr GK these days. I’ve been really impressed with that bullet on hogs, and it isn’t just the CNS shots that work. I shot two big hogs last week, one at 190 pounds and one at 200 pounds. I didn’t have a good angle on the bigger one, so I went for an angled shot, low, hoping to get the heart. I even got an exit with that one. The little bullet goes deep.

For years I argued against using a 223 on deer, but that bullet has changed my mind.
