This writer once failed to drop a hog with a forehead shot using a Ruger .44 Magnum rifle. He would not personally recommend anything smaller than a .30-30 Winchester, preferably a .308 or .30-06. You cannot be sure of the angle, and a hog is a much tougher target physically than a deer. Stay away from 6 mm calibers except in the heaviest bullets.

Keep in mind that a 7.62x39 cartridge is roughly the equivalent of a .30-30, but you will need to use soft-nose bullets which do not function well in the Kalashnikov action.

What rifle is best for hog hunting?

Impossible to answer without knowing the terrain, size of hog and your abilities. I would recommend a high-powered rifle before even attempting to get near a wild hog. Wild hogs are very dangerous. They can severely injure or even kill an adult human.


Could you kill a wild hog with a 223 caliber rifle?

It is possible to kill a wild hog with a .223 caliber rifle, but it may not be the most effective choice due to the size and toughness of the hog. It's recommended to use a larger caliber rifle for hunting hogs to ensure a clean and ethical kill.
