Default First time hog hunt: Which rifle should I take?

I've never been hog hunting before but am going out later this month to an area where the hogs are said to *average* 300lbs. That seems a little big to me so I'm wondering which rifle I ought to take along.

My choices are .25-06, .30-06, .270, and maybe a 6.5 Creedmoor. I want to use a copper bullet with whichever I choose (my wife is pregnant and doesn't want lead fragments in the meat).

Any advice? I can hit where I aim with any of them but prefer the .25-06. It's just that 100 grains seems a little light for a 300 pound hog.
