Well, I'm still looking for accessible land with hogs here in VA, but I plan on using my .30-06 or 12 gauge with slugs, depending on terrain.

I bow hunt first then I have used everything from 243 up to 35cal. I mostly use my 243 now but will break out the '06 occasionally. My old Marlin 35cal really was probably the best hog gun I ever had out to 100yrds. Wish I had never sold it.

Bow. I got a clean pass thru back in March on a 75# meat hog (little boar) at 22 yrds.

I think it would be fun to do it with a pistol also. Maybe a 41 Mag. Another toy my LSW won't appreciate. My cousin down in N. Central FL hunts with a 44 Mag. My brother (NE FL prefers bowhunting them as well.

Bow, then probably my 30-30 or 30-06, depending on the terrain. I like spot and stalk bow hunting for them the best though.

The first couple of times (which last one being successful) was with an 300. Savage Magnum.

I use a .243, .270, and 44 mag revolver. Small calibers work wonders on hogs it is all shot placement though.
