I didn't read through all the post on this topic as the ones I did read are about the same as I hear everywhere else when this question is asked.
To start with, the 44 mag is plenty gun for the job. So many people comment on shot placement and they are right, but one is not always given the chance at the perfect shot behind the ear and even less when you are using iron sights. There are many different shots that will kill a hog. Your 44 will kill large full sized hogs with shot placement to the vitals, you may have to track it a bit but that's hunting. Heart and lungs, it will die with a 44 mag.
Good hunting
