With a sounder you will get just a few seconds to take out as many as you can before they are long gone. An AR is perfect for ridding the area of feral hogs. In one night a sounder can shred a football field sized area of crops. I go bigger than 5.56 though with .264 LBC.
Colion makes good points but sadly it falls on deaf ears with the anti-2A crowd.
It has been years since I have gone hunting for wild boar, but you never forget how aggressive they are.
However, as he correctly points out, hunting and self-defense were already accepted as a normal God given natural rights, so the 2A has nothing to do with those rights. Instead, it was to protect us from enemies, BOTH foreign and domestic.
All one needs to do is read the Federalist Papers to see exactly what the Founding Father's meant by their verbiage when drafting the Constitution.
Hunted hogs for years with a 17 WSM on a working cattle ranch. The owner was a friend and NFL player. They did not want centerfire rounds used on the ranch due to the cattle. It was rimfire or nothing. I passed up on some shots because hogs seldom sit still. I had to put a round between the eye and the ear if wanted them DRT. Any centerfire will kill them if you put the round in the boiler room. A AR15 may get you a couple more opportunities but hogs are not going to stick around and let you fire at them.

Very true.
I had to call in professional trappers I had so many.
The sounder ended up being 27 hogs...1 boar and 3 alpha females and all the rest.
Boar came in over 300lbs and the alpha females were all over 200lbs.
They set up a radio controlled pen and I had to seed it with corn (pigs knew my scent).
They waited and counted for 3-4 nights and then trapped them.
That's just not true. No one I know who hunts hogs will use a .223 with 55gr FMJ bullets, because they bounce off the skull far too often.
That's just not true either. .223s kill the same way FMJ .30 caliber bullets do, which is hydrostatic shock.
The state of California is correct. A .223 FMJ will, more often than not, punch a .223 caliber hole through the target, unless it happens to hit a bone, in which case the result is not predictable.
While even the laws of gravity are not absolute, the one constant in the Universe is that California is never correct about anything.
The government, are you being audited, must be a bad one. LOL
Well if hog hunters need these who are we to say.
There are around 20Million AR-15's in circulation, I'm glad I don't live anywhere near these hog hunters. So why do the other need an AR-15.
They're like potato chips, you can't just have one. There's multiple calibers, pistol, rifle , carbine, ....then again, I'm of the one is none, two is one mindset.
I could care less about people with AR's, I'm just glad I don't live in an area were these hogs have become a threat.
Meanwhile, back in the middle ages: everybody could just carry around a boar spear in case they get attacked by a wild boar.
