Hi there!
I would definitely recommend the 8mm,or a shotgun loaded with winchester supreme slugs.
I've seen too many big boars that got away shot by an SKS round- it is waay to weak for such an animal,and I guarantee that even a heart shot won't bring it down immediately,of course a head shot will,but if the pigs are on the run,even on clear terrain it is hard to place it precisely.
What scope is on your 8mm-smaller magnification and wide field of wiew is better.
P.S-are those feral pigs or european wild pigs?
Cheers
