Hunting pigs with a 30-06, what bullets?

[Granting]

Hi Guys,

I know there's plenty of opinion and info on what works for hunting in general (which is partly the problem )

Like the title says, I'm looking to go pig hunting in the near future and am just wondering what bullets people have had luck with?

Cheers.

There are pigs and then their are PIGS!

Most 30-06 rounds will put just about anything down with authority, but what size game and distances are we talking here?

[Herdsman]

As Aster said, 30-06 can handle just about anything short of monster pigs.

150gr pills for small-medium oinkers, 180gr if you're expecting a few bigger guys.

There isn't much in Oz that will stand up to a 180gr 30-06 round

Thanks guys,

Not out to bag any world record breakers or anything like that... I guess 50-60kg from what I've been told?

A fellow shooter has put me onto some 180gr core locks? Think I'll give those a try for the first time out as he's had good results in the past.

"Core Lokts", not locks

But yeah, those will do the trick.

If they put a big pig down they can be called whatever they want
