I would definitely choose the 240 gr lead over the hollow points, especially if they are hardcast (18 Brinell +). Penetration is what you want for pigs.

Whichever powder will drive them at about 1350-1400 fps at the muzzle with good accuracy is the one to use. I like 23 gr of WW296 and WLP primers, with a good crimp.
