jesse8953 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm going to go to flordia turkey hunting this spring.the guide said after I tag out turkey hunting i can hunt hogs and coyotes for free.What one gun should I use for both? 223, 243, 22-250,270,7mm mag.These are all scoped bolt action. What grain ammo for what gun.I'm thinking the 243 for both.I need some opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Depends on the bullets/loads you are shooting from each, especially if hogs are on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Any will do well. 243 should do just fine. Really big boars I'd shoot in the head or behind the ear if possible, just keep it off the front shoulder and in the ribs otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 any i'd think will work but i'd do what redkneck said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB Outdoors Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 i have use my savage 22-250 on coyotes here in wisconsin and also on hogs down in mississippi and it did really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Cannot say about the hogs, but I like 55 grain sp's out of the .223 for yotes. Would think if you follow John's advice on shot placement the .223 would work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 22-50 or 223 would be my choice..what grain bullett//..your gun will tell you that at the target range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
