The 'arm chair expert' you spoke to really does not know what he is talking about.
I have shot most of the wild pig I have taken with a .222 because it has been what I have been carrying at the time that the opportunity arose.
THe .222 is I think a bit too light and creates a need for good bullet placement and often a second shot.
More suited is the 7.62x39 or 30-30. .308 would be ideal. Anything heavier is a matter of choice, but is un-necessary.
