I was in Kerrville, TX (which is north of the San Antonio area) last month hunting deer and hogs on my folks ranch...the hogs are all over the place down there. The 7.5 Swiss will put down a hog with no problem. Most of the ones I saw were in the 150lb range, and a 5.56 will do nicely as well. There were quite a few 200+lb hogs out, the largest one I saw probably weighed in at more than 250lbs, just couldn't get a shot off on him. I used a 30-06 and 308 for the bigger hogs and my 223 on the smaller ones.
Didn't see any Bobcats...but wasn't really looking for them.
