   If your 243 shoots well I would use that. Just be aware that if you shoot one in the shoulder with any centrefire half the animal will be buggered - they bruise far worse than deer from a bullet. Aim...

   Coromandel is not too far from Hamilton. There is a lot of pig-hunting to be had up there, and a hell of a lot of hunters. Just need to try and hook up with some. Not sure on clubs up that ways. An...

   When shooting pigs with smaller calibres, shot placement is very important. I had a boar a while back that shrugged off a centrefire cal to the shoulder. He was dropped by a 308 to the neck and on...

   From my bush stalking experience and past years pig hunting with dogs etc i think i have a far idea on tips. Without dogs pigs can be a real challage. Summer can be good with the rifle as the pigs...

   Some jokers on here if they did what they preached would have very short lives.... Use that .308 it’s safer for you and more humane for the animals your hunting!

   All three would be able to knock down pigs, but as you suggested they are very much tougher than goats. My first choice would be the 308, followed by the 7.62x39. The x39 wont have the longer range...

   Pigs can be very difficult to find in the open to get a shot at, I have had quite good success over the years shooting pigs without dogs, but this has been mostly farm land and waiting for them to...

   Pigs are difficult to stalk in the bush because they are so low to the ground they are very hard to see even when close. Once the heat of summer comes on they retreat to deep cold bush gully's....

   Pureora has a few pig's but your best bet would be to go door knocking. The country to the West of Hamilton has plenty of pig's. As said earlier farmland bush edge hunting is the way to go if you...

    I would use the 308. That way if a deer pops out somewhere further out while you're pig hunting, you've got it covered.

    Why would you launch into using that tool if you haven't done some basic measurements to understand the nature of the problem?

    Fair point. My understanding of swaging is that it trues up primer pockets regardless of dimension, ie cold forging the brass back to spec. This is given that they're too tight/ distorted, not too...
