Not a hog hunter, but...

Capstick wrote of using Brenneke slugs on Cape Buffalo with good effect. Standard result on whitetails w/ Rottweil Brennekes is a through shot broadside, 2-3 feet plus of penetration on a frontal shot. 20 ga Rottweils are one of the best whitetail loads I've ever used.

The Rottweil slug is probably a better penetrator than the KO 1 oz job, just from weight.

Lots of those Rangers,etc, that have to relocate Grizzly Bears use the Brennekes as a precautionary round, oft mixed with 00.

With the Rottweils in a reliable repeater, a good hand can handle any hog ever born, IMO....
