My 2 cents!
I have been down to Texas 3 times as a friend of mine moved from Iowa and started a dariy Operation.From the get go he had hog problems
I have shot and 9 hogs all were sows except 1 which was a 270lb boar all were shot at less than 50 yds and all but 3 were 1 shot kills,the boar took 3.Every one was taken with a Rossi lever gun in .357 using using Hornady 140gr FTX over 8.2 grs 231
The locals I was hunting with had a mixture of calibers 35 rems,
30-30s .44mag lever guns they said in the area we were hunting in there was no need for any thing other than basic brush guns because rarely were there any shots over 75yds
I am not saying anything about other areas or other calibers Iam saying that the area I was hunting large caliber heavy weight bullets are what was recommeded
