This is what my 450 Bushmaster did at 100 yards. (I was not the shooter) There is no such thing as too dead, but there is such a thing called too much meat damage. It is a fun range toy, but I will never hunt with it unless Dragons are involved.
Plus the ability to us 9mm pistol cans. I think Texas pig hunters are going to love it.

I had a lightweight hunting rifle in 243, a Ruger...
1) I plan to shoot the crap out of it. I just don't think burning out a 223 barrel too quickly is a relevant consideration. I would simply buy a prefit barrel and swap it out myself.
