Default M1 Carbine- enough to hunt piggies?

I've been a life long hunter, mainly duck and dove, with an occassional deer/squirrel hunt mixed in. Recently I've gotten quite interested in hunting pigs, and I was wondering what some of the experienced hog hunters out there think about using an m1 carbine? I like the M1, and I kind of hate to spend a ton of money on another gun I'm not sure how much I'll get to use right away. I thought about a lever action, but again, just wanting some opinions from otheres. Does the M1 cargine have enough power for pigs? I like the fact that being an autoloader, I could have follow-up shots if needed, and that it is smaller and lighter weight that would be great for tromping through the woods. Thoughts?
