What is the most widely accepted weapon of choice for hog hunting? Is my 50 cal muzzleloader stuffed with a 348 grain hollow point and packed with 100 grains of pyrodex good enough? What about 12 gauge slug gun pushing a 1 1/4oz Winchester Gold Partition slug gonna do it? Need something my 9 year old can shoulder and still stay in the stand when it kicks.

RE: Weapons for hogs
All those will work fine. Like Rev mentioned, 243s are a great choice. There is a member here, Guess is his name, he takes lots of hogs with a 243. Another good kids gun, a 44 mag cabin. My niece uses one for deer, hogs, and goats.

A .25-06 ora .243 would be a nice start. Personally, I use a .223 more times than not. But I handload, and there isn't a lot of factory ammo out there with decent game bullets.
