A hog is not built like a deer. A hogs heart and lungs sit very low in the body. For a hog that is broadside a bullet in the ear, below the ear or on line between the ear and will do the trick every time. A shot low and just behind the crook in the front leg will also do it every time.

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.

I disagree. The problem with bod shooting a hog is that the fatty tissue or shiled will plug the hole up and stop blood flow. Also the lungs do not extend "behind the ribcage" that sir would be the paunch or guts.
