It would be nearly impossible to take a shot at a pig over 100yds away from a pig due to the type of terrain I'm in. So it's .223 all the way for me.

Lots of cows nearby so I am unlikely to take a shot that I might miss. Any doubt, and I will pass on the shot....

Those two parameters makes the .223 a perfect fit to my situation. I've used full sized 30 calibers and had bullet exits. (308, 303brit, 30-06) so I eliminated them as choices in my pig hunting repertoire.
