I am taking probably the only chance i will have for a wild boar hunt. Never been on one so anybody got ideas on best bullet to use i am taking my 300 winmag or my weatherby 30-06. Thanks for any help   

I took a 240# field weight hog in Northern California November 16th using a 30.06... load was Military Case, 42.3 grains IMR 4895, bullet was Sierra 165gr SPBT.... dropped it at 212 yds....Heart Lung Shot thru and thru....

This pig was just under 230lbs and I used my Remington 700 7mm rem mag. I used 140 grain Core Lockt and as you can see; my shot placement was just under the ear at 75-100 yards. Either one of your rifles will do the job. If I had the choice; I would take the 300 winmag. Pigs are TOUGH and I don't think you would go wrong with the 300.

I use 50 cal M loader I never had any touble laying mine down.

Pigs are tough! derekchisolm is right! Now, It also depends on your ability as a shooter. If you can accurately shoot your weapon and hit a boar in his brain pan you can hit him with anything from a .223 to a .243 pretty effectively. Now if you have never been big boar hunting and you are stalking pigs on the ground or in close quarters for sure go for a larger caliber. Let's just say you can't overgun for big boars, but you can undergun. I like quality ammo as well. I have had incredible results with the Hornady SST interlock and will try the Superformance rounds this year as well. Bullets that stay together and cause lots of trauma are best. Some pigs will drop like a sack of potatoes when hit others will run and hide laying in wait for you when you try to retrieve them. If you are just getting started I definitely recommend a caliber which will give you plenty of power and knock down performance. of course, you could get in some insane discussion about ballistics, shock power, ballistic coefficiency and what not, and performance, etc............ and so on and so on. Practice definitely makes perfect when stalking big boars. Shoot what you shoot well and be aware of the situation you will hunt in, ie stand, ground,stalking, etc... We have shot them with bows but be prepared to track them. A little unnerving in the dense cover they prefer. Always remember there is one pig which you may shoot three or four times and then there are many that will drop instantly with one round. Placement is key but sometimes that isn't even enough. Adrenaline is a strange thing in a wild boar!

The 300WM will do the trick.

Definitely the 300 since it may be your only chance!

I hunted them once with a 44 rem mag pistol. got one hog, wounded one and he made me climb a small tree. next time i plan on taking my B.A.R IN 30-06.with 200 grn core lock hand loads.

took my 530 pounder with my 300 win mag.

Most center fire rifle rounds will work fine as long as you hit the vitals. They are tough animals, but where most people go wrong is shooting too high on the body and missing the organs. The vitals are located lower in the rib cage than on deer or other game game in North America. Here is a link to look at the vitals: http://0.tqn.com/d/hunting/1/0/5/H/hog_anatomy.GIF
