Basically, depending on the size of the hog and the size of deer in your area, they are deer-sized critters. I'm assuming all the posters who say a .223 and good bullets are fine for hogs also assume the combination is fine for deer.
I won't get into the debate of what people ought or ought not use on deer, but, head shots excepted, I hope no one is treating hogs differently from similar sized deer.
