Most of my hogs have fallen to a .50 inline muzzleloder. A few dozen of them have been killed with a .22 magnum and a .223.
Shooting a big boar hog in the shoulder is not the answer unless you are using heavy for caliber bullets that will hold together well.
A Rhino isn't built like a deer either, but a bullet through both lungs will anchor him as well. Lungs are directly behind the rib cage of all animals,largest vitals to hit, pretty simple and very reliable shot.
