One shot and done. That particular gun and load accounted for over 70 hogs in the '95-'97 time frame and none had to be shot twice.
Big hog. Did you ever check to see how many No3 B penetrated through the shoulder and how far into the other?
My recollection is that about 1/3 of the shot exited the off side. Rather surprised me at the time but it was a common occurrence.
DD, dont tell anyone this, but a couple of times trying to neak up on a muley buck bedded in thick, heavy mesquite in low holes, in the West Texas sandhills, I have slung the rifle over my shoulder and carried the 20 with buckshot.
I’m shocked! Won’t tell anyone, I promise.
Stuff I’ve killed with scatterguns in my life would challenge a couple of 18 wheelers I’m guessing. The rifles are trying to catch up but they have a long ways to go. I have never had to shoot anything twice with a shotgun, be it birds or furry/fuzzy critters. Birdshot, buckshot or slugs.
Fella with a good gun that fits and with understanding of how it patterns is a force to be reckoned with.

PS: I love the sound of a 12 bore Forster smacking a pig in the morning.
You've filled 2 18 wheelers full of game and never had to shoot anything twice with a shotgun?
