Looking for kill pics or load data from anyone that has a "hog-only" load that they use in .223 or 5.56! Thanks guys!

That 35gr hornady varmint round worked pretty well on a 300lb boar, vitals shot ~175yds from a 16" AR. Grenaded and literally liquified the heart. If I hadn't been in such a hurry to gut him I woulda taken a picture. All I've tried so far, I usually use the FAL...

Thanks Mason. That's a great shot @175 what time of day?

I shoot them with the 75 gr bthp match bullets by hornady. They get the job done every time.

Yeah, what he said....
Just shoot some at the bench to see if your barrel will stabalize them.
I had a 1/9 twist in a 16" and it would only shoot up to 69 grain OTMBT bullets but it shot them well.
75 grains went everywhere...

Thanks guys

What shoots well in one gun doesn't always shoot well in the next. Try several and pick the one that runs in your weapon best.

^what he said. My buddy shot him while I was doing spotter work for him. Offhand at about 10pm. He is a killer shot, he dropped right where he stood, although I am sure there are nastier bullets out there.

I have been told the 75 grain hornady HPBT should be great up to about 300 yards. I have been loading them in my AR for accuracy loads. I'm just under MOA with them at 100 yards.

Winchester Brass
CCI 400 primer
24gr reloder-15
COAL-2.250
75gr Hornady Match Hollow Point Boat Tail

I've had good luck with the following,

Win brass
Rem 7 1/2
24.5gr ramshot tac
65gr Sierra gameking btsp

Super accurate and rolls them with plenty of punch. Quarter to half dollar size holes. Drops them just as quick as my 308 but without the huge holes and mess.

And yet some folks say a .223 is too small for Texas whitetail deer.

I shoot the 75gr. in my 20" RRA bull and the Hornady 53gr. Superformance Vmax in my 16"
I have had success with both on hogs and deer out to 300+

Most people who say things like that have never even tried to shoot a whitetail with a .223.

Federal Fusion 62 Grain is what my daughter and I use. She has killed a bunch of hogs and several larger animals with this round.

I've killed pigs and deer with this one.

Hornady 55gr Z Max

64 gr BVAC bonded core, 3000 FPS and only $10 per 20 rounds!

62gr Silver Bear from CTD.

Tula 62 gr hollow points are all I use for hogs. Good and cheap

Cheap ball ammo. If you put the round in the sweet spot it will work. I've shot them at 150 down to 15yds some run a little ways and some just drop.

ANY .223 behind the ear

Any 68-77gr HP will get it done.

The 55 gr barnes TsX should do it too.

for body shots it is too small, sure its dead somewhere, but where, get a good flashlight and plan on being on your knees for a while.
I know firsthand. neck or head shots its awsome

Huge fan of the tsx, but the 53 tsx should be used in the higher velocity 22-250. IMO

I don't think the 223 has enough velocity for them..

I have killed quite a few deer with .223 and Remington 55 grain PSP. Shot everyone highpoint of the shoulder. Most dead in tracks, miss a bit and they die not to far away.(50 yds or less)
