A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/hog-hunting-at-night\/\">wild hog<\/a> can range anywhere from 170 pounds all the way up to half a ton. THAT&#8217;S a big pig. Consider also that hogs have very tough hides, and thick bones, so your 30-30 will need to have enough velocity to penetrate AND expand to incapacitate the animal.<\/p>\n<h3>Energy Required to Kill a Wild Hog<\/h3>\n<p>Generally, the mass of a male deer is 100-150 pounds. The widely accepted energy to take a deer down is somewhere around 1,000 ft. lbs. For an Elk (500-700 lbs. mass), 2,500 ft. lbs. is preferred.<\/p>\n<p>Splitting the difference, we&#8217;ll set a perimeter of 1,500-2,000 ft. lbs. of energy required for our 30-30 cartridge. Of course we can still take down hogs with less, but this is just to help guide us with our ammo selection.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, there are many 30-30 loads that can meet these requirements or close to it! The main issue is going to be the range you will have to shoot the hog at. 30-30 is not known to hold its energy very far.<\/p>\n<h3>Maximum Effective Range of 30-30<\/h3>\n<p>In order to stay within the energy requirements, we will have to take out the hog at or closer than 100 yards. Depending on your barrel length and muzzle velocities, you should be looking for 2,000-2,500 FPS. I recommend looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/30-30-win-federal-fusion-170-grain-fusion-f3030fs2-20-rounds\">170 GR Winchester Federal Fusion<\/a>. If you want to increase your range, you will have to find a cartridge with higher muzzle velocities, heavier bullet weight, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6271\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6271\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6271\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web.jpg\" alt=\"Federal fusion 170gr 30-30\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/DSC6697_web-627x418.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Federal fusion 170gr 30-30<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How to Hunt Hogs with 30-30<\/h2>\n<p>Alright, so you will need to be close. With this in mind, one of the best strategies is to hunt your hog using a feeder and a blind to sit in.<\/p>\n<h3>Using a Feeder<\/h3>\n<p>Utilizing a feeder will draw the hogs in close where you can easily see and take a careful shot. Most hogs like to come out at night when it&#8217;s cool or be near water in the daytime. Using this information you can carefully select where you want to place yourself and your feeder, should you have to sit and wait for a few hours.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6272\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6272\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Dressing a hog in Texas.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-1536x1018.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-2048x1358.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-610x404.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-1080x716.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/000066440004_web_V2-627x416.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dressing a hog in Texas.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Nighttime Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>Like I mentioned before, hogs like to come out at dusk. If you are considering a 30-30 lever action, you may want to upgrade your factory sights to some form of night sight. Another option is to switch out your stock furniture to a <a href=\"https:\/\/rangerpointstore.com\/henry-pewview-m-lok-rail-system-rifle-calibers-45-70-30-30-38-55-410-360\/#tab-videos\">RPP M-LOK Rail System<\/a>.

(unless you are as good as Lucas McCain in &#8220;The Rifleman&#8221; of course) Although I think hunting hogs with 30-30 is extremely fun, at best I think you should expect to get one good shot off before the whole bunch is scattered. However, with a solid rifle and the right load, you&#8217;ll have no problems dropping your hog in fashion!<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you are on the &#8220;hunt&#8221; for the best 30-30 to do the job, check out our site.
