Nice looking pup there, Rich.
I believe in heavy calibers for oinkers because I've seen the scars of what a mean pig can do. Old timer around town when I was little told the story often of how a pig tore a huge gash up his calf, and he sported a scar to prove it.
Personally, I've sewn up a couple of dogs and buried several more that got too close to the wrong end of a pig. Just last year, a friend in AL shot a old sow with his 7mm Mag, but he was shooting offhand and pulled the shot (his words) and hit her in the throat area. She immediately turned and charged him. Three rounds and some dirty drawers later, she plowed dirt far too close to him for comfort.
I'll stick to big, heavy bullets.
