RE: Is my rifle big enough for hogs
 

So far I've only shot two, but the guns I used were a .22lr with CCI's Stingers and a .54 caliber muzzle loader, and they both got the job done with one shot

Thanks for the anatomy lesson. It could come in handy if I ever find somewhere to hunt in Texas without paying per pig (I could do that on the playground hunts in PA).

i would have to say that might be just a little to much gun if you want minimal meat damage

Placement, placement, placement. I have used 3006 and had that side plate stop it dead on the exit (350lb boar). Found bullet fully intact. On the other hand I placed a 22 long rifle behind the ear of one (only thing I had at the time) and it droped in its tracks (195lb sow)

mark an X between the right ear and left eye and the left ear and right eye; hit the center of the X and you got one dead hog.center of the brain.

I took mine with a 12 guage slug. I will say though my first shot was 00Buck shot. When I dressed the 80lb hog out the ooBuck had broken the rib cage and the hog ran like it wasn't even touched. My next round was a slug which was immediate death.
