How big of a hog are you hunting?? hell, I have killed 300-400 lbs hogs with a .22 mag.
We will cut our enemies down in droves
Our fires will be the substance of their nightmares
The fields of the dead shall serve as evidence of our passing
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.

Hell of a caliber, a friend has a Guide Gun in 45-70 with a Burris red dot on it he has taken several 300+ ferals with it. I don't have a favorite hog gun per se when I get the chance to go hunting I usually take a rifle I haven't hunted with in a while. Where I hunt some of the shots are 150+ yards so I use at least a .243
I looking to take one this year with the 45/70 BFR.

BEING THE MODERATOR OF THE ROADHOUSE IS LIKE BEING THE JANITOR OF A PEEP SHOW.
One of the FFL's around here swears by his .45-70.
Last one I took was with plain old .308. My shot placement was poor (low light, shitty scope, shooting at a silhouette in the distance) so I had to hit it again after a little tracking. The first shot still knocked it on its ass but good though. The poor thing didn't make it more than 100 yards before it ran out of steam. After examining the would channels I have every confidence that the round would penetrate the vitals and beyond if place in the right spot.
My buddy who was acting as guide has literally slain more than he can remember with 7mm magnum. He also likes the .338 winmag, and has no complaints whatsoever with that one.
Seems like any decently heavy full power rifle cartridge will do the trick.
One recommendation my friend made though was relatively hard bullets, so that they penetrate into the vitals before expanding. Those pigs have thick gristle, huge muscles, big ass bones, and a fairly small heart compared to the mass of tissues around it, so you've got to get past that stuff!
44 Mag in a levergun is hard to beat.
