I like the .308, but I go pig killing with a Ruger mini 14.
It is all in the shot placement. I killed a 400 pounder with a shot just behind the ear. Sow dropped like a sack of potatoes and never got up.
Back in the 60s, a friend and I took a 600 lb. sow to the stock auction in Geneva, Alabama. I remember a couple of guys telling us that we had let her get too large which we already knew.
She wasn’t old and actually sold for a good price. That was a long time ago, but she didn’t look as large as that 500 lb. one in the picture.
