i've killed dozens of hogs, mostly with muzzleloaders. Anyone who has to shoot a hog multiple times with a high power rifle and a good bullet ain't hitting the hog in the right place. Biggestwildboari ever killed pegged the 350 pound scales when field dressed. Shot that hog through both shoulders with a 300 grain XTP Magnumbullet and 100 grains of Pyrodex RS from my old CVAStaghorn. The exit hole wasover one inch. The hog just fell over stone dead. Most of my hogs have been bang flops, including a sow shot at 190 long paces with my .50 Encore.
