I see there's a deer hunting with with .223/5.56, but not a dedicated hog thread. Did I miss that?
Not much if a hunter, but always wanted to hog hunt with my AR, and recent move to FL makes that easy to accomplish. I'd be using a 6940.
I know .223 is very dependent on bullet selection and I know many who take out hogs with it using correctly selected ammo for hogs vs say m855, which will just poke small holes in them. It seems Federal Fusion has an excellent reputation for taking down deer (and hogs?), and of course .223 going to be more shot place dependent than others. Im told it's usually 100 yards or well under in most cases.
So far, I have not found Federal Fusion at various stores in the region I have stopped by. I could order online someplace. Other recommend .223 hunting loads people have had good success with hogs?
