A hog this big will come near killing you, if it catches up to you, a small one will run you down, been there and had them do that. Emptying 6 rounds of 44 mag at point blank would slow them but not a sure stop ... depending where you hit. But how accurate can you be when running at top speed? My only experience has been with hogs of about 350 pounds.

Hogs are really tough beasts.

That’s one big hog, if it’s a real photo. Sure wouldn’t go after it with any revolver, but that’s just me. 12 ga 30 inch full choke with 00 magnum would be my minimum.

I hunted them once in Tn with a 30-06. I got mine (about 350#) in the shoulder while running in front of me. Knocked the thing over, tumbled it, then the d*mn thing jumped up and started running right at me. If the dogs hadn’t jumped him and drew him off I would have had time for one follow up shot, then reach for the nearest tree. After that hunting deer just wasn’t the same, having something charge you gives you a thrill no whitetail will ever match.

At minimum, I would want a 12 gauge loaded with 3 inch slugs, and with a bayonet on the end
