Yes the .223 caliber was designed to do just that. Kill pests and feral hogs/wild boar! Hope this helps.

Andrew, while a well placed shot will kill a hog, .223 is not the optimal round. Too much to type, so read this article >>> https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/is-223-5-56-enough-to-hunt-feral-hogs/ Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Andrew and welcome. It will be marginal Sir. I highly recommend an AR-10 in .308. Cheers and stay safe! https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/123872/dti+echo+308+.308+winchester+16
