I would use .30-06 if that's what I had available. Feral pigs/hogs aren't too hard to kill until you get to the boars that are 250+ pounds. I've had a couple of them get up and leave after getting hit in the shield with a 165gr soft point from a .308, the biggest one wanted to come after me but had a broken shoulder. I've started using 180gr Nosler partitions now just in case I hit the shield. ( not a good feeling when you are prone and realize that the first boar you shot is now back on his feet after 20-30 seconds and about 40ft away) A hit behind the shield on a boar or anywhere on a sow pretty much turns the far side of them inside out.
