I like Orbie's plan, take away the food source.... What kinda range were they shot at?
I like my hogs $#@! up, DRT. I use bigger calibers.

Looking at the one shot video, I see a tan colored hog is on top of the berm behind it. That thing looks HUGE! Good shot
I was thinking about using 270 for deer and 5.56 for hogs this fall. I am a new hunter. Maybe it should be the other way around.

I'm guessing his 270 is limited in capacity and notWhy not use the 270 for both.
Yet the likelihood of the other shots doing any good at putting meat on the ground are slim. I would also say it is a negligible advantage unless in very open terrain as they will be in cover or headed there fast at the first shot.I'm guessing his 270 is limited in capacity and not
semi auto for big groups of pigs.
We're not too worried about meat on the ground when dealing with feral hogs. Were trying to take back our pastures and kill as many as we can. I've killed most of them with a semiauto 22.Yet the likelihood of the other shots doing any good at putting meat on the ground are slim.

Use a well constructed hunting bullet and get a couple pigs in one shot with the 270.

I assumed his 6.8 build was an AR platform or other modern sporting rifle. The best hunting rifle is the one that makes you happiest to shoot caliber is shooters choice. I like .243 or .257 Roberts with the hornady +p rounds in bolt guns but it's because that's what's sitting in the case. It's way more fun with a semiauto for hogs.Yet the op is talking about going on a hunt.
I don't disagree about taking back pastures but terrai and hunting style is a very important factor when deciding on a weapon.
