Copper Bullets Can't Stop Feral Hogs | Little Rock News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 17, 2026 Duration: 2:06

Feral hogs are outsmarting hunters in California, surviving shots from standard calibers and darting away unpredictably—forcing a rethink of gear. Copper bullets, mandated for environmental reasons, lack the stopping power needed against these tough animals. Top hunters are turning to heavier rounds like 350 Legend, 400 Legend, and 450 Bushmaster, even chambering ARs in them, for the decisive knockdown needed. It’s not just about killing—it’s about doing it fast, humanely, and safely in the dark, where wounded pigs can vanish into the night.
