You're gonna piss off the pig.
I've killed one with a 9mm +p+ (Fed 9bple) out of my Browning, but that was because it was within reach at the time. The pig was at about 15 yards in the first layer of our woods, and I was in Old Paintless driving around the woods. We found it a year later about 50 yards from there, in to the near unwalkable part of the woods.
Also had about the same results at about 30 yards with a .223 load that puts serious dimples in a gong at 100 yards. That skull is on the back porch waiting for me to get around to taking the tusks out of it.
I know Hargrove slew an slew of 'em one day with a 45 auto.
But he's a pig killin' machine.
Pigs have that built in almost bullet proof gristle plate. They are a lot tougher than a deer.
