Well I've always liked the different side of things compared to the average fella up here in NQ.

7x57 - Parker Hale M1100 lightweight
7x64 - BRNO 600
.308Norma Magnum - Parker Hale M1200........yep she's Swedish & can she go!
9.3x64 - Mark X....the article by Jack Lott won me, this round can top the .375H&H by a whisker, this is the one that really got me started into the big bores & more advanced reloading back in the 80's
Lastly
10.75x73mm or .404Jeffery - CZ550 Safari classic
I haven't the chance to try the .404 on pigs yet, but all the others do a spectacular job.
The old 7x57 did a top job on a Rusa stag a few years back, not breaking any speed or accuracy records but 140gn Noslers do a grand quartering job mushrooming perfectly; even if the bugger ran 50 yards & playing hard to find after being hit!




Hey 9.3x64 I am not sure the 404J will be enough gun for pigs but I do know the 416 Rigby works just fine on feral cats
