Don't know about shoulder shots but many years ago we had hogs and I'd kill them before butchering.
Well these hogs were HUGE. I had a Colt Agent .38 with LSWC handloads. No it wasn't a magnum but I found on a running hog the .38 would shoot right through and even break the spine!
So I have no doubt a good stiff .357 load is plenty hog medicine if you can shoot strait. I only use my .44 S&W cause I like the gun so much, and not because the .357 can't do the job.
