A lot of the effectiveness of this ammo in terms of killing a hog depends on some other factors like the distance and shot placement. You could kill a hog with this Sierra Prairie Enemy .223 Remington 55 grain Sierra BlitzKing ammunition with proper shot placement and at reasonable distances. However, I would consider using a larger caliber for hogs.
