A buddy of mine has a boar's head mounted and hanging on his office wall; around a 250-pounder. He killed it with a .357. But, short range, from a stand, head shot, execptional skill with a handgun.
Most folks who've commented about boar hunting--particularly the larger ones(boars, not folks)--have recommended the .44Mag, with heavy bullets. I guess you could consider the 300-grain bullets "insurance" in the event that the boar doesn't cooperate with your plan.
A boar that doesn't know of your presence is just another pig. A boar that is slightly wounded and identifies you as the source of the pain just might decide to try and ruin your whole day.
FWIW, Art
