Ruski and Hogs
Got an invite to southeast Fla for pigs and think I'll use an AR with a Ruski upper. Having never hunted pigs before I'm wondering what bullet I should work up a load for and make sure it feeds right, any thoughts? I want a couple of younger ones for eating but you never really know what might pop out!

Might help a bit to know what caliber.

I shot two with 100gr .243, head shots from a blind.

I have killed several pigs at the ranch with my AR. I'm shooting .223 steel cased 55 grain hollow points. Bang, Flop from about 80 yards. Bullet placement is everything!
