The 6mm isn't much bigger at .244 instead of .223 and 80gr and they work just fine on deer. I have seen the wound channel go the full lnght of a large whitetail from front to back. You lose a little speed on yours but I think it will do fine on any hog up to several hundred pounds. Guys in Texas use AR platforms all the time but I can only assume they are 5.56/.223 judging by the recoil in the video. Shot placement will be a little more critical than a 150-180gr 30 caliber round but I think you have that handled. Everyone around here says the feral hogs are much tastier than domestic.

Ya know, I think that 30-30 was louder than my 30-06. I am not going to complain about the shot for a 13 year old. She had a chance for a couple up close but they weren't very big. While she was desperate to get a deer she said she didn't want to shoot a puppy. Hers was 2-3 year old.
