I came to the dance late, and went back to the first page to see where it started. When talking of pigs as big and tough, my go to pig gun is a 1950 Savage model R in 250 with a 2-7 Redfield. On our first pig hunt the guide said he used a 243 for pigs and with the smaller bullet, he just shot them in the head. He said you can't miss, it's the size of a watermelon. My first was a 220 pounder, shot behind the left ear, bang-flop. The second was 150, shot in the left eye, bang-flop. I use factory Remington 100gr CL. As it's been said, if the bullet goes where it's supposed to, game over, Joe.
