Obviously it wasn't a perfect shot. You hit a deer or hog with a Spitfire in the lung area, your going to get a pass through. I can only remember one shot for me that wasn't a pass through, and it was my fault. What grain were you using with the hog and what were you pulling? I would probably go with 125 gr. on a hog. I shoot nothing but 100 gr. at deer and have never had a problem with penetration. The Spitfire leaves a good entry hole and a huge exit hole. I switcehd from Muzzys to Spitfires and am glad I did.
