303,

You've got to be kidding when you say that your friend thinks that a .375 H&H isn't too much gun for pigs! I've generally shot them with a .270, .303 and a .308 and never had a problem stopping them with one shot.

I've a lot of respect for pigs and wouldn't like to tackle them with anything less than a .243 but a .375 H&H makes an awful mess of them like it did on my first warthog. The .270gr Failsafe (I wasn't just hunting pigs!) shattered its right shoulder and exited its left hind quarter. Luckily, all I wanted were the tusks!
