Is a .357 revolver powerfull enough for hogs?

I think once again it all comes down to placement....

if you are going to hunt using something thats considered a min caliber you MUST be patient and pass up shots you would normally take with a larger gun. If you are so, you will have sucess IMO
 
I killed this at (at fairly short range) with my Ruger SP101 357 and 145 Winchester Silver Tips.

With adequate shot placement and good shot selection it is enough, but it is not my first choice.

Hey. Been hunting pigs for several years and though the .357 was OK, I get consistant one shot kills with my S&W .41 mag with Remingto 210 soft point.
If the .357 is what you want, go with a hard lead 180 gr load.

Good luck; they're good eatin'.
