Example .308win, 30-30 etc. Perhaps even a .270. I would not recommend .223, there's not enough hitting power. 500lb pig is a bit optimistic. It would have to be a cross breed between a domestic pig and a wild bore to get that large. anything over 30cal will do. Example .308win, 30-30 etc. Perhaps even a .270.

About 100 yards, and I forget exactly what scope I was using. I know, some will say thats not very sporting, to use that weapon, and I would tend to agree.
