Don't know anything about hogs. I have taken pronghorn antelope, mule Deer, and elk with my model 29 Smith. Used 240 grain jacketed soft point handloads well within pressure limits. All were one shot kills. With the exception of an antelope I shot in the neck (bad choice by the way) every critter was shot behind the front shoulder standing broadside. Us archers call that a "double lung". Like any other firearm, it is where you hit them that counts.
