I'm not sure why you want to load 123 gr slugs in the x54r ctg to hunt tough game like hogs. Sierra, Speer and Hornady make great 150 gr .311 dia SP's, the Hornady is the sexy poly tipped SST boat tail. There are heavier slugs also.

I would keep the 123 for plinking and varmints and get a bigger game bullet for hogs. HOgs are notorious for soaking up punishment and absorbing lead.
