Killed a lot of "woods hogs" as a kid around East Texas with a .22 LR - also used 20 gauge shotgun slugs. Later used .30-06, once a .300 W. Mag. A Savage 99 .300 Savage also did a great job for hogs. My "favorite" woods pig caliber is probably .44 mag. Shot a bunch with a T/C with a 14" barrel and a suppressor using subsonic loads pushing 300 - 330 gr hardcast bullets. My wife's Ruger semi-auto .44 mag is also very good.
