I liked the 30-06 with the old Red Box Federal (that came out in late 70's) with the Sierra 165 SBT on deer/hogs ( about 50 miles SE of Hanco (:)) as a young man. It held up fine and really chilled their doo-doo with even a shoulder shot. But honestly, so did the 150gr 30-30 Corlokt we used. I always 'tried" to shoot them behind the ear, upper neck with anything. The little Mod 9422 magnum was my BILs favorite hog gun. I piled up three hogs with it ( fmjs) in less time than it takes to tell it. None weighed over 150 pounds though. He did have to do "The Rifleman" on a peed off huge sow one time though!
