Better count on the slugs. You can't get 00 in 20 guage I don't think. I would use the slugs anyway, if he has practiced enough and can hit a target consistently at that distance.

40 to 50 yards with #3 buck (the normal load for a 20 guage) I don't think is a suitable load for a 200 pound or so hog. You are just going to bugger him up most of the time.
