I say the OP will be fine taking what he had planned to take. As long as he doesn't plan on any real long shots with either. If the typical hunting ranges in NM are 100 yds and further, then something along the line of .308/.30-06 might be better.

I've used my Ruger SBH in .44 mag to take a number of hogs down here, including some pretty good sized. Of course, the range has usually been less than 50 yds.

As always, choose your shot according to what you are carrying and it's capabilities.
