My main bullet is the 150gr Rem CL either hand loaded or factory. They have been putting hogs down solid for quite a few year out of my 16.5" barreled Ruger Compact. The key is hitting them right through the shoulder and not behind it like a deer. The other good spot is straight below the ear and in line with the eye. Those two shots take all the fun outta crawlin up in the thick stuff after them though.

Feel free to have a look see at some we have pulled off my and my friends place. If you notice there is that little rifle in a LOT of those pics.
