I hunt hogs regularly and the 357 pistol would not be my first choice of firearms. The larger a hog is, the thicker the gristle plates get. Add a nice coating of mud and dirt and they become fairly tough animals. I have used a Marlin 1894c in 357, but only with shots shorter than 100 yds and hog size smaller than 150 lbs.
This is only my opinion, but after you have a wounded hog running at you, you learn just how tough they can be. I prefer that they go down quickly, so I use enough gun.
