Anyone ever kill a pig with a shotgun with an 18th inch barrel?

no, though I do have a "tactical" 1100 with an 8rd tube and 18.5" barrel..

how close are you to them?
I wouldn't use buckshot past about 25 yards
good slugs would be better

I use a 6.8 AR, faster followups, extremely accurate and can reach out further

They make "Hog Shot" now for shotguns, but I have never tried them out. And yes a Tactical shotgun would drop a hog depending on range.

After shooting numerous kinds of buckshot, so far the best and tightest pattern was Federal tactical buckshot

That is what I like, LE127-00.

I also kill hogs with Remingtons Wingmaster HD loads. Load # RW12HD & RW1235VT are good pig killers and will rip a coyote into pieces. The only down side is the cost; nearly $4 per shot.

she said ,why does that ammo have pretty green tips on it? the guy said its the eco-friendy ammo.

I witnessed my cousin run a coyote down in a Kubota side by side and shoot him in the back of the head with bird shot as we had been dove hunting. DRT

So has anyone ever used the KO knockout slugs? Ive shot them pretty accurately with a standard shotgun barrel but never with the 18 incher. I wonder what the effective range would be to take a hog.

you have also seen me shoot a coon with a 30-30 (1 shot 1 kill) from a moving mule.

I have killed a pile of pigs with Federal 20 ga #3 buckshot. Out to 30 yards I'd take a 12 ga with 00 over any weapon that I could legally get my hands on. Just like shooting big slow birds...
