my brother has shot a lot of running hogs in Georgia with a 308 and 12 ga slugs. he shots hogs like i trap beaver. Hey introduce him to buck shot. He will kill more. He hunts hogs and never uses buck shot? In Georgia!!!! Heck I thought that's all they used down there. Even for those boone and crockett rabbits. Oh wait that's how big the deer are down there...

My buddy in Oklahoma uses 3" 00 Buck. Not sure what brand. He says "they put Hogs down hard!" LOL Eyuup. But consider looking into the copper plated stuff, it is very effective.

Too much kick in a deer slug. For the number of times you need to shoot hog hunting ANY slug would leave a bruise that may kill you from the blood clot. You guys want to say "it works great on deer" Just google some of those hog hunts. They shoot 20 ,30 ,40 times in under an hour. That my friend would destroy your shoulder if you shot slugs.... sounds a bit like a swamp drive slugs aren't that bad from a decent gun. I never felt a slug while I was hunting to busy focusing on the target. a nice 12 ga auto loader and the only issue will be feeding it fast enough.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
