It depends on the range and size of the hog you wish to shoot, in my opinion a .223 is more than enough for most hogs especially if its a gun you're comfortable with. I've hunted hogs my entire life and many people I know only use .22 mags, So if you're a good shot with the .223 it should get the job done, a larger bullet is useless if it doesn't hit its mark!

FloridaHunter: I hunt hog, year-round in FL. The .223 is not a hog*gun! Yes it can work? A 30-30,.35Rem,44Mag. here are some lite re-coil caliber's start him off right. I have sean HOG'S hit with an 06*180gr run~off with his lung's hanging out and makeit to the swamp! Good Hunting!
